What should I bid? - Best enquiry for August 2010 The best submission for August came from Michael Wilkinson. Hand: With both sides vulnerable and playing IMPs, I was West:
Comments: What call should I make? Kieran's Reply: Michael, Lots of stuff going on here. 2 What bothers me is the spades - there must be a huge chance that the opponents can make a bunch of spades, maybe a game - if they can find their fit. So, I'd like to bury the spade fit without hurting our constructive auction too much. My choice is 2NT, emphasising the heart stoppers and counting on the massive club fit to provide the tricks that I need. Maybe I'll make 3NT opposite a minimum strong notrump. Or, maybe it will just be high enough to kill the opponents' spades. Kieran |
