Opener Rebid

Here is your hand:

♠AQ932
♥J6
♦A87
♣K82

Playing matchpoints and no one is vulnerable. You are Dealer and open the bidding 1♠. Your LHO (Left Hand Opponent) bids 2♣. Partner bids 2♥.

Two questions:

1) What is Partner showing for their 2♥ bid?

2) What is your call and can Partner "Pass" this bid?

Show Answer

Your Partner has at least FIVE ♥ and at least 10 HCP.

See the following post for more information:
Responder Promises a FIVE Card Suit

Bid 2NT. This should show a minimum hand (Good 12 to 14 HCP) along with a ♣ stopper. Partner can "Pass" this bid if they are minimum.
