➢ How do you advise West (a restricted player) to bid now, knowing that partner will pass?
➢ On this particular hand 3NT, of course is cold

* I was called to the table for an unintended bid.
N/S are not a regular partnership and some players still use 4C Gerber.
North “forgot” and thought he was responding to 4NT.
Unfortunately, I did not allow any change to the call as I maintained that North made a mistake NOT and unintended bid.
Would an open player like to suggest a good bidding sequence for a restricted player to reach 7H.
