Quiz 5 Question 5 - Transfers


You open 1NT, partner bids 2♥ and you complete by bidding 2♠ now partner bids 2NT (invitational) what is your bid..?

 
  • ♠ A43
  • ♥ K43
  • ♦ A432
  • ♣ K76
bid 4♠ - partner has asked you to convert back to spades if you have 3 of them and you do. 3♠ would show a minimum with 3 card support and with a maximum we jump to 4♠ to make sure we reach game.
 
  • ♠ 54
  • ♥ KJ7
  • ♦ Q875
  • ♣ AQ32
Pass -and quickly! We have no spade fit with partner and a rock bottom minimum in terms of high cards, so no game today.
 
  • ♠ K3
  • ♥ KQ1096
  • ♦ AJ2
  • ♣ 874
bid 3♥ - we have a chunky 13 count so treat it as a maximum. We could just bid 3NT but we have a nice heart suit to show to give partner the chance to raise us if he has 3 cards in hearts.
