Answer #53
Three possible hands are given for South but only one is consistent with bidding. Which one? What should the other iands have bid? Neither side is vulnerable

1NT 2♠ 3NT |
Pass Pass |
| Hand a) |

♠ Q J T 2 ♥ 10 8 ♦ K J 10 2 ♣ A Q 3 |
| Hand b) |
|
♠ K J 9 6 2 ♥ Q 8 7 ♦ J 2 ♣ A K 8 |
| Hand c) |
|
♠ A J 5 2 ♥ J 8 2 ♦ A 8 2 ♣ K 8 2 |
Answer:
a) is correct.
- Hand (c) has the barren 4333 shape with no tens or nines. You should pass 2NT - quickly.
- With Hand (b), you will accept the game invite (14 points). However, rather than simply bidding 3NT, why not try 3♠ en route. This must show five spades and logically ask partner to choose between 3NT and 4♠. [It cannot be rescue, for partner has not promised spades.]
- Hand (a) is correct. You like your 13-count – look at those lovely intermediates that combine to form chunky sequences: ♠QJ10, ♦KJ10. Accept the game invitation.
