\"\"<\/a>The 4♦️hand<\/a>: I’ve 14 hcp and my P has 12, with a void of spade ♠️. I couldn’t remember what was the reason to land us in 4 diamonds, which I’ve 3 and P has 4. But her void of spade helped a lot.<\/p>\n

The last hand<\/a>, I’ve 19 hcp, my P has 12 hcp. I dealt and opened with 1NT and my P respond w\/ 2C<\/a>:<\/p>\n

A “2 club” response to a “1NT<\/a>” opening in bridge is typically a Stayman<\/em> bid, which means the responder is asking partner if they have a 4-card major suit, prompting the opener to bid their longest major suit if they have one; if not, the opener should rebid 2 diamonds to show no 4-card major.<\/p>\n

  1. me 1 NT; p; PT 2♣️: asking for a major suit<\/li>\n
  2. Pass;\u00a0me 2♥️; pass;<\/li>\n

    So 4 hearts it’s, and I made 5.<\/p>\n
