Weekly Hand Analysis - Glenna Shannahan - December 5, 2022 - 18-19 HCP


 Question: South has 19 HCP and an unbalanced hand.  If the bid is 1D to 2NT for South to indicate 18 to 19 points, then does that require North to bid?   If North is not required to bid should South forget about 2NT and immediately go to 3NT as South did in this hand?

Glenna:

No the correct bid is 2 NT.  We do NOT overbid at matchpoints and partner has a chance to raise to 3 NT so it is a partnership agreement which makes for good results
