Weekly Hand Analysis - Glenna Shannahan - November 14, 2022 - What to bid?

 

Question:  Bid 3S and made 5 S.  How should South have bid?  Game?

Glenna:

 This is a hand that everyone would benefit from talking about the bidding so thank you for the question. 

S should open 1 ♠️ and N should respond 1NT—showing 6-10 points and denying 3 ♠️. South should bid 2 ♥️ and N should correct to 2 ♠️. The 5-2 fit plays better than most other combinations. South should bid 3 ♥️ showing a 5-5 hand and N should bid 4 ♥️

 It is so important to show your shape as well as your points. Try always to find a way to do that.

Hope this helps,

Glenna
