Girls night in, two interesting hands.
Bidding correctly is important: I tend to bid low, to feel my partner’s hand, or give her/him a chance to bid too. But many times, I don’t get to rebid when three passes occurred. Like this hand. My rho opened with a pass:
R1: p, 1♦️ (me), 1♠️, 2♦️
R2: 3♣️, 3♦️
Luckily, the bidding went on after my initial 1 diamond bid, which should have been 2♦️ bid.
This hand is identical to the last time at the club, 3 3 3 4, with 11 hcp, with the same partner:
R1: p, p (me), p, 1♦️
R2: p, 2♣️, p, 2N
By passing the first round, I’m telling my partner that I don’t have an opening hand, 12 to 13 hcp. She bid 1 diamond. The second round, I changed to clubs, which is my best suit, telling her that I’ve 10 points and club is my best suit. She then bid 1NT.
