Playing matchpoints. You are vulnerable and the Opponents are not.
Here is your hand:
♠AK2
♥K9
♦AKJ6
♣JT82
Partner is Dealer and says "Pass". Your RHO (Right Hand Opponent) says "Pass". We decided last post to open 1
♦. LHO bids 1♠, Partner bids "Pass", RHO bids "Pass" and it is now back to you. What is your call?
Show Answer
1NT.
This shows a balanced hand that was too strong to open the bidding 1NT. So about 18 or 19 HCP. You MUST have the Opponent's suit stopped. (But you do.)
What would you do with a minimum hand that wasn't strong enough to open 1NT? "Pass" of course!
