Overcalling
Playing matchpoints. You are not vulnerable and the Opponents are vulnerable.
Here is your hand:
♠K852
♥AQ3
♦KJ97
♣KT
RHO (Right Hand Opponent) is Dealer and opens the bidding 2♠. You ask and are told that this is a WEAK 2 bid. Your RHO has six ♠ but not very many points. What is your call?

Responding when the Opponents Pre-empt
Playing matchpoints. You are not vulnerable and the Opponents are vulnerable.
Here is your hand:
♠AQT8
♥4
♦Q542
♣KQ94
Partner is Dealer and opens the bidding 1♦. Your RHO (Right Hand Opponent) says 3♥. (Oh yeah, they are making it tough for you!) What is your call?
Show Answer
Do you play Negative Doubles? This is a perfect Negative Double! It tells Partner you have at least four ♠ and some values also.
That would be my first choice -- but I play Negative Doubles.
If you don't play Negative Doubles you've still got to do something. You probably have a ♦ fit. Pretty much all the time Partner will open 1♦ on a four card suit.
If you play in ♦ you get to count Dummy points. You've got a very useful singleton and you can add 3 more points to your hand. That brings your total to 16 points. More than enough to go to game in ♦.
If you bid 4♦ Partner will "Pass" (your 4♦ bid shows a much weaker hand than the one you have) and you missed a game.
If you either bid 5♦ or cuebid the Opponent's suit to show a strong hand you got to your 5♦ game which makes. Good job!

Here is your hand:

♣KQ5
Your Partner opens the bidding 1♦. Your RHO (Right Hand Opponent) says 1♠. What is your call?

Do you play Negative Doubles? I hope so because this is a perfect one!
This shows either four ♥ OR longer ♥ but with less than 10 HCP.

What will you Rebid?
Playing matchpoints. You are vulnerable and the Opponents are not.
Here is your hand:
♠7
♥KQ7
♦AKQ42
♣KJ43
You are Dealer and open the bidding 1♦. The Opponents are silent during the auction. Partner bids 1♠. What is your call? (Better count your High Card Points twice before you decide!)
Show Answer
2♣.
I can hear you right now. "What?!? I've got EIGHTEEN High Card Points! I have to JUMP to 3♣ to show a big hand.
Let me ask you this -- if Partner has a lousy 6 points (and let's face it sometimes Partner will respond with fewer!) and no fit for you do you really want to be in a game?
No? Well bidding 3♣ does show a big hand -- big enough to go to game once Partner responds no matter how lousy Partner's hand is. It's a jump shift and jump shifts are game forcing.
If you bid 2♣ Partner might take another bid. THEN you can show a stronger hand. If Partner has to say "Pass" to 2♣ you probably aren't going to make a game.
P.S. If you jumped to 3♣ you got the partnership to game and Partner has the lousy 6 point hand. You go down.
If you bid a simple 2♣, Partner responds 2♦. You can now bid 3♦ just in case Partner has something useful but Partner doesn't and Passes. Which is a GOOD thing because you only make 3♦.

Responding
Playing matchpoints. Neither you nor the Opponents are vulnerable.
Here is your hand:
♠J7
♥J6
♦T976
♣AQ763
Your Partner opens the bidding 1♦. Your RHO (Right Hand Opponent) says "Pass". What is your call?
Show Answer
I like 2♦.
Yes, Partner only promises three ♦ when they open the bidding 1♦ but most of the time they have four ♦. So most of the time you will have a fit. Plus the only other call you could make would be 1NT. (2♣ would show 10 or more HCP which you do not have.) I hate to bid 1NT with no high cards in either major if I have other options.
However 1NT wouldn't be wrong exactly. Just maybe more likely to not work out.
Partner can take nine tricks in ♦.
You cannot even take seven tricks if you play in 1NT.

What to Respond?

Here is your hand:
♠J42
♥A3
♦J75
♣JT732
Partner is Dealer and opens the bidding 1♠. The Opponents are silent through the auction. What is your call?
Show Answer
2♠
You have enough points you NEED to respond to Partner. "Passing" says you don't even have 6 HCP (High Card Points). Remember Partner might just have 20 HCP over there and is just waiting for you to respond so they can bid a game.
You also don't want to bid 1NT. That actually DENIES having three card support for Partner's major suit opening bid.
2♠ says that you have about 6 to a bad 10 points and three or more ♠. Perfect!

What to Open?
Playing matchpoints. You are vulnerable and the Opponents are not.
Here is your hand:
♠AKQJT93
♥85
♦542
♣A
You are Dealer. What is your call?
Show Answer
Just open 1♠.
Opening the bidding with 3♠ shows seven ♠ but it also shows a WEAK hand.
With an opening hand, open at the 1 level. You can always jump later on.

Rebidding after Partner makes a Negative Double showing both Majors and RHO Raises 1 Level
This post builds on the knowledge learned in previous posts. Please read them first:
Introducing the Negative Double - Auctions showing Spades
Responding to a 1 Level Negative Double when RHO passes
Responding to a Negative Double when RHO raises 1 level
Negative Doubles to show Hearts
Responding to a Negative Double with Hearts RHO Passes
Responding to a Negative Double which shows Hearts when RHO raises 1 level
and most importantly:
Negative Doubling to show BOTH Majors
Rebidding after Partner makes a Negative Double showing both Majors
After your Partner makes a Negative Double, sometimes your RHO (Right Hand Opponent) raises their partner's overcall and you are no longer forced to bid. In an auction where Partner has shown four of both majors and you have four of at least one major you still want to tell Partner. But now the level you respond at will change since your RHO took up a level.
Let's look at this auction:
and here is your hand:
♠KQ92
♥J2
♦T84
♣AK84
You want to compete. You have a ♠ fit. If the Opponents did not interfere and Partner had responded 1♠ you would have raised to 2♠. You can still do that. That still shows a minimum opening bid.
What if your hand was stronger? What do you do then?
With a VERY stong hand, say this one:
♠AKJ9
♥82
♦AT4
♣AK84
just like before you can just go right to game. Bid 4♠. Partner is supposed to have at least 6 HCP to make the Negative Double. You have 19 HCP! That should be enough to make a game.
With a more medium type hand you can jump one level. Now you need to bid at the 3 level since the Opponents competed with 2♦.
So with this hand:
♠AKJ9
♥82
♦96
♣AKJ84
you would jump to 3♠. That tells Partner that you have more than just a minimum opener, but not quite enough to bid a game.
Remember you can add Dummy points to your hand even though you will be Declarer.
That's quite a bit of information. Let's practice! That might make things a bit more clear.
On the following hands YOU opened the bidding 1♣. Your LHO (Left Hand Opponent) overcalled 1♦. Partner doubled. You have agreed to play Negative Doubles and this is one! Partner has at least 6 HCP and at least four cards in both majors. Your RHO (Right Hand Opponent) bids 2♦. It is your bid. What will you bid and what does that bid show?
So the auction was:
With a minimum opening hand (and a fit!) bid just 2 of the major. This should show up to a bad 16 points.
With a medium opening hand (and a fit!) jump to 3 of the major. This should show a really good 16 points to 18 points.
With a maximum opening hand (and a fit!) bid 4 of the major. This should show at least 19 points.

Rebidding after Partner makes a Negative Double showing both Majors
This post builds on the knowledge learned in previous posts. Please read them first:
Introducing the Negative Double - Auctions showing Spades
Responding to a 1 Level Negative Double when RHO passes
Responding to a Negative Double when RHO raises 1 level
Negative Doubles to show Hearts
Responding to a Negative Double with Hearts RHO Passes
Responding to a Negative Double which shows Hearts when RHO raises 1 level
and most importantly:
Negative Doubling to show BOTH Majors
Once Partner makes a Negative Double you (as Opener) are basically forced to bid. It's a little bit like a Take Out Double. If you "Pass" the Negative Double, the Opponents are playing at a low level contract and neither you, nor Partner, has very many trump. So you NEED to respond. Let's look at hands where Partner made a Negative Double at the 1 level to show that they have both major suits.
So the auction would be:
and here is your hand:
♠KQ92
♥J82
♦83
♣AK84
If you "Pass" right now your LHO is playing in 1♦ Doubled and you only have two trump. Partner doesn't have to have any! So you cannot "Pass".
Partner's Double told you that they have at least four ♠ in their hand. Perfect! You have four ♠! You have a ♠ fit!
You need to tell Partner that you have a fit. But you don't want Partner thinking you have much in the way of points. You are minimum for your opening bid. Bid 1♠. That tells Partner that you have a fit, but you only have a minimum hand.
What if your hand was stronger? What do you do then?
With a VERY stong hand, say this one:
♠AKJ9
♥82
♦AT4
♣AK84
you can just go right to game. Bid 4♠. Partner is supposed to have at least 6 HCP to make the Negative Double. You have 19 HCP! That should be enough to make a game.
With a more medium type hand you can jump one level.
So with this hand:
♠AKJ9
♥82
♦96
♣AKJ84
you would jump to 2♠. That tells Partner that you have more than just a minimum opener, but not quite enough to bid a game.
Can you count extra points somehow?
Say you had this hand:
♠AQ92
♥AT2
♦4
♣AJ842
You opened the bidding 1♣. If the Opponents had not interfered Partner would have responded 1♠. You have a fit and you will be Dummy. You can now add Dummy points to your hand. So now rather than 15 HCP in your hand you have 18 points because you get to count three points for your singleton ♦. It seems unfair that when the Opponents interfere with a 1♦ overcall you no longer get those points.
It is unfair. Give them to yourself!
So add Dummy points to your hand even though you will be Declarer.
So that 15 HCP hand now becomes an 18 point hand. You can now jump a level to 2♠ to show a hand with about 17 or 18 points -- even a really good 16 point hand.
That's quite a bit of information. Let's practice! That might make things a bit more clear.
On the following hands YOU opened the bidding 1♣. Your LHO (Left Hand Opponent) overcalled 1♦. Partner doubled. You have agreed to play Negative Doubles and this is one! Partner has at least 6 HCP and at least four cards in BOTH Majors. Your RHO (Right Hand Opponent) says "Pass". It is your bid. What will you bid and what does that bid show?
So the auction was:
With a minimum opening hand (and a fit!) bid just 1 of your four card major. This should show up to a bad 16 points.
With a medium opening hand (and a fit!) jump to 2 of your four card major. This should show a really good 16 points to 18 points.
With a maximum opening hand (and a fit!) bid 4 of your four card major. This should show at least 19 points.

Negative Doubling to show BOTH Majors
This post builds on the knowledge learned in previous posts. Please read them first:
Introducing the Negative Double - Auctions showing Spades
Responding to a 1 Level Negative Double when RHO passes
Responding to a Negative Double when RHO raises 1 level
Negative Doubles to show Hearts
Responding to a Negative Double with Hearts RHO Passes
Responding to a Negative Double which shows Hearts when RHO raises 1 level
Doubling at the 1 level to show both majors is a slightly different auction than doubling to show either ♠ or ♥.
This is the VERY SPECIFIC auction we are looking at:
For this Double you MUST have BOTH suits. After all, both are majors and both are very important. You only need six (or more) HCP (High Card Points) because Partner is only required to bid at the 1 level.
BIDDING the suit (rather than Doubling) at the 1 level NO LONGER shows a FIFTH card in the suit and still shows only six (or more) HCP. The reason bidding only shows a four card suit is that in order to Double you would NEED to have four cards in BOTH majors. If you have only one four card major you would still need to tell Partner about that four card major so therefore bidding the suit needs to be only a four card suit, but you could have more of course.
So this auction:
Bidding 1♥ only shows a FOUR card suit (you could have more) and six or more HCP (you could have more) and is still a forcing bid.
and of course this auction:
Bidding 1♠ only shows a FOUR card suit (you could have more) and six or more HCP (you could have more) and is still a forcing bid.
Does the "Double" show any particular length in each suit?
Good question! It does!
With two FOUR card majors ALWAYS make a Negative Double.
On Hand A, Hand B and Hand C you would start with a "Double" to tell Partner you have both majors.
With two FIVE card majors ALWAYS bid the higher ranking suit first -- 1♠ in this case.
On Hand D, Hand E and Hand F you would start with a 1♠ bid. This just tells Partner you have FOUR of them. You will show this distributional hand with your next bid.
With both a FOUR card major and a FIVE card major make a Negative Double with a weak hand -- less than 10 HCP.
On Hand G, Hand H and Hand I you would start with a "Double" to tell Partner you have both majors.
With both a FOUR card major and a FIVE card major bid your FIVE card major with a strong hand -- a good 10 HCP or more.
On Hand J and Hand K you would start with a 1♠ bid to tell Partner you have at least four ♠. You can always bid ♥ later on.
On Hand L you would start with a 1♥ bid to tell Partner you have at least four ♥. You can always bid ♠ later on.
That's quite a bit of information. Let's practice! That might make things a bit more clear.
On the following hands Partner opened the bidding 1♣. Your RHO (Right Hand Opponent) overcalled 1♦. It is your bid. What will you do?
Keep in mind that you do need values to bid.
Double if you have at exactly four ♥ and four ♠.
Double if you have at EITHER five ♥ and four ♠ with a weak hand OR five ♠ and four ♥ with a weak hand.
Bid a four+ card major.
Bid 1NT to show stoppers in the Opponent's suit with 6 to 10 HCP.
Bid 2NT to show stoppers in the Opponent's suit with 11 or 12 HCP.
Bid 3NT to show stoppers in the Opponent's suit with 13 to 15 HCP.
and last (but not least!) just "Pass" if you have nothing to say.
Here goes. Remember the auction was:
How many High Card Points (HCP) do you have? What will you bid and what does that tell Partner?
