S A432
H KT D KJ65 C AJT 1NT (15-17) - (2H natural) - 3H - (Pass) ? |

S KQT
H J5432 D QT8 C Q9 1NT (15-17) - (2S natural) - ? |
2NT (relay to 3C)
Follow with 3S. No way to show 5 hearts and a spade guard. To keep the option of 3NT open, is best to treat your hearts as 4-card suit. [Couldn't you bid 3H? If opener has no fit and no spade guard, he can bid 3S to give you a chance to bid 3NT.] [Double at favorable vulnerability?] |
|
S J3
H AT9 D AQ64 C KJ98 1NT (15-17) - (2S natural) - 3S - (Pass) ? |
4C
Least of evils. 4H, to play in 4-3 fit, is another possibility. Can't force to 5 of a minor (by bidding 4S) without a maximum. If responder has extras, he can carry on after 4C. |
|
S 532
H A6 D AKJT C KQT9 1NT (15-17) - (2S natural) - 3S - (Pass) ? |
4S
Ask partner to bid his better minor. Requires a maximum. |
|
S KJ82
H Q86 D KJ2 C AQ4 1NT (15-17) - (2H natural) - 3NT - (Pass) ? |
Pass
Best choice. No certainty of having a better spot. |
|
S Q2
H Q32 D AQJ C KQT87 1NT (15-17) - (2H natural) - 3NT - (Pass) ? |
4H
Pass could be right, but playing in a minor is safer. 4C and 5C are also options. |
|
S KJ63
H 432 D KQ8 C AQ9 1NT (15-17) - (2H natural) - 3NT - (Pass) ? |
4C
You know passing isn't right, so hope responder has a 5-card minor. |
|
S K9876
H K2 D KJT C AQT 1NT (15-17) - (2H natural) - 3NT - (Pass) ? |
Pass
4S is tempting, but 3NT stays with the field. |
