Now What?

Here is your hand:

♠T842
♥T54
♦72
♣AK64

Playing matchpoints and everyone is vulnerable. You are Dealer and say "Pass". Your LHO (Left Hand Opponent) opens the bidding 1♦. Partner overcalls 1♠. RHO says "Pass". You decide to bid 2♠. Partner now bids 3♠.

What is your call?

Show Answer

You originally told Partner you had 6 to 10 points. Partner knows you don't have much. But Partner is still interested in a game. They are asking if you have a minimum for your bid (6 or 7 points) or a maximum for your bid (8 to 10 points).

You have 7 HCP and 1 Dummy point for your doubleton ♦. You also have an extra trump. GO FOR IT! Bid 4♠!
