More examples of response to No Trump with one point

Today we look at more examples of your partnership agreement for a bust hand. How do you respond to 1NT opening partner with these bust hands?

Case 1:

Spades xx
Hearts xxxxx
Diamonds xxx
Clubs xxx

Case 1: Partner opens 1NT. Your partnership is not going anywhere but you have a better contract available to you. Bid Two Diamonds to transfer to Hearts and let partner play Two Hearts. He will prefer that contract.

Case 2:

Spades xx
Hearts x
Diamonds xxxxxxx
Clubs xxx

Case 2: Partner opens 1NT. You introduce your bust hand wirh seven diamonds by bidding Two Spades as a transfer to the minors. Partner dutifully bids Three Clubs and you correct to Three Diamonds.

Case 3:

Spades xxxxx
Hearts x
Diamonds xxx
Clubs xxxx

Case 3: Partner opens 1NT. You see a better play in Spades so you immediately transfer to Two Spades by bidding Two Hearts.

Next Week: Do not be afraid of No Trump.

If you wish to promote an activity in your Bridge group or ask a Bridge question, send the information to vrhead23@gmail.com and I will try to include it in this column.
