Question: N/S are two-suited and each hand has opening count. Should S have bid 3 (or 4) H instead of the 2 H response?
Glenna:
I am going to try to condense this to the MAJOR parts only:
- North has a good 1 ♥️ bid.
- E did not have a good ♦️ bid—should bid 2 NT showing a 5-5 (or greater) minor suit hand. The beauty of this hand was not 5 TERRIBLE ♦️, it was a strong 2-suiter!!!
- South needs to rethink his bid—a full opening hand that many would consider looking for slam should not have been passed out at the 3-level. South should get the partnership to game.
The
first thought that should go through everyone’s head is SUPPORT WITH SUPPORT
and to the LEVEL that shows the total points of the 2 hands.
Simple
guideline:
2
weak hands shouldn’t bid much; usually stops in 1NT or 2 level
1
good hand and 1 weak hand; usually gets to 3 level because you have EXPLORED
for game
2
good hands GET to Game and sometimes look for slam
