This
deal is from an EBU online duplicate
You
pick up this strong hand, partner opens one
diamond and the next hand makes a weak jump
overcall of two hearts. You bid the
obvious two spades and North raises in
hearts. Partner has nothing to
contribute at this point what do you bid
next?
Scroll
down for solution.
A
jump to five spades should now ask partner
to bid six with a heart control (and some
spade support if his heart control is a
singleton or void), this takes some optimism
that partner's minor suit holding will take
care of your diamond losers. Partner
is on the same wavelength and dutifully
raises to six with the following minimum
hand.
94,
Q, AK973, Q10943.
There
is nothing to the play, bidding and making
six spades is a complete top.
