Believe that an opening bid opposite an opening bid should have some play for 1NT.
Wish I could play more bridge.

- Paddy Murphy's bidding problem: J532 2 KQT532 74
- General, usually game forcing, strength. I don't think it promises 4S. What would you bid with 14HCP 2263?
- Peg Kaplan's bidding problem: 732 J87532 7 JT7
- Hmm, if partner has a balanced hand, with our d singleton, wouldn't that balanced hand typically be suitable for a NT overcall?
- Chris Gibson's bidding problem: AQ74 --- AQ7542 KT3
- Is there any other option than doubling?
- Shawn Drenning's bidding problem: QT83 KQ76 874 K9
- Could you make 2♥ on this deal?
- Which line to take
- If anything, given the lead, I'd play the hearts the other way. H10 from hand? Also West might attack spades, whereas East has a cheap shot through the club ace.
- ATB
- I think a cue followed by 4M shows the power hand (you don't care about interference, even by partner). Direct 4M is a game try, particularly in spades.
- Michael Kopera's bidding problem: AQ96 5 KJ4 AKQ72
- I think if partner signs off over 3♥, maybe we can give up and just bid game. But if he makes any forward signal, we can keycard. But I much prefer 4♣ to 4♥ which forces partner into a corner too often.
- ATB
- Whenever I've seen this bid, the hand had always had two aces and at least 5 trumps. Partner just doesn't get excited enough to remember the bid otherwise.
- Balanced 17+-19 hcp hands in competition
- I like and wrote various versions of 2C=18/19 or strong. Responder assumes balanced in competition (similar to interference over 1N). Version 1 basic is to play 2C - 2D as forcing 2N (or strong showing). Natural higher responses, natural NF at 2 level (2N NF weak minors...), forcing at ...
- Playing Count as the primary signal on Partner's leads
- A few bits and pieces: If playing attitude, then with xx in dummy, attitude on A would be for K respectively. Typically, from AKxxx or longer the K might solve the over ruff mystery. Against NT, you can't get it right all the time, but on ace lead (with ...
