Playing matchpoints. You are vulnerable and the Opponents are not vulnerable.
Here is your hand:
♠KQ9
♥KQT863
♦KT
♣KJ
Partner opens the bidding 1♣. The Opponents do not bid. You decide to bid 1
♥. You are very strong for this bid but it IS a forcing bid. Partner MUST bid again.
Over 1
♥ Partner bids 4
♥.
What is Partner showing for their bid? What is your call?
Show Answer
The bid I would choose is 4NT. Ask Partner how many Aces they have.
Partner is showing a STRONG hand. You said you had only six points and only four ♥. They need at least four ♥ to make a trump fit with you and at least 19 points if all you have is six.
You have 17 HCP plus extra trump! You've got to take further action!
Stay tuned to see what happens!
