Playing matchpoints. You are vulnerable and the Opponents are not vulnerable.
Here is your hand:
♠T2
♥Q8
♦AKQJ75
♣AT9
You are Dealer. We decided last post to open 1
♦. You are unbalanced with no stoppers in either major so that is why you didn't open 1NT. The Opponents stay silent during the bidding. Partner responds 1♠.
You have a fabulous bid to describe your hand perfectly! What is your call?
Show Answer
3♦.
This should show a GOOD six card suit with about 16 to 18 HCP (High Card Points).
Partner has a ♥ stopper and about 9 HCP. They will bid 3NT and you will make a game.
If you rebid 2♦ you don't get across just how strong your hand is and Partner just says "Pass".
