Bidding After A 2NT Opening by Matthias Huberschwiller

In this quiz, we will look at responding to a 2NT opening. Basically, the responses are the same as over a 1NT opening, with Stayman and Transfers, except the points are not the same since opener has 20-21.

Will you find the right bids?

Question 2

Your Hand
♠ 8 3
♥ A J 9 6 2
♦ 9 6 2
♣ K 7 3

Q: 2 - What do you bid as South?

South	West	North	East
-	-	2 NT	Pass
3♦	Pass	3♥	Pass
?

A: 3 NT - Yes, it's the same hand, but a round later in the bidding. Your partner has bid 3♥, as he was asked to, and you need to bid again.

You have points for a game and are not sure of a Heart fit. Therefore, you bid 3NT. If your partner has a Heart fit, he will correct to 4♥, since he knows you have five of them.

Question 4

Your Hand
♠ 7 2
♥ K 10 6 3

♣ 8 4 3

Q: 4 - What do you bid as South?

South	West	North	East
-	-	2 NT	Pass
?

A: 3♣ - Over a 1NT opening, you would have passed with this hand, but over a 2NT opening, you have enough points for game (25). Bid Stayman to find out if you need to play 3 NT or 4♥.

Question 5

Your Hand
♠ 8 7 6 4 3 2
♥ 8
♦ 8 6 2
♣ 10 4 2

Q: 5 - What do you bid as South?

South	West	North	East
-	-	2 NT	Pass
?

A: 3♥ - Wow, what a wonderful zero-point hand! You can still transfer - you will pass your partner's 3♠. Your hand is worth much more in 3♠ than in 2NT.
