This hand<\/a> I’ve 19 hcp +1. My partner has 11 hcp +1 too, who opened with Pass. The bid:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. P; P; 1N (me); P<\/li>\n
  2. 2♠️; P; 4S<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Did I miss anything, by jumping to 4S? My reasons are: partner passed the first round, means he has less than 12 points; but two opponents also passed. So when my partner bid in the second round for 2S, I know that he at least would have 4♠️ (in fact he does ♠️KJ10 7), and I’ve ♠️AQ985. We made 5 (11 in total).<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a>This hand I’ve 11 hcp +2. I shouldn’t have forced the issue – should stay put. The bidding:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. 1♥️; P, 1NT, 2♠️ (me)<\/li>\n
    2. 2♥️; 3♦️<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Responding 1NT, means the bider has 6-9 pt<\/a>.<\/p>\n

      A good read on response to opening bids<\/a>.<\/p>\n

      We only made 1 trick: 2 short to make the contract.<\/p>\n
