You are the opener. You open precisely One-Club, One-Diamond or One-Heart. Partner responds precisely One-Heart or One-Spade over your opening and opponent\u2019s interference (if any). Partner\u2019s hand is unlimited. He guarantees at least six points and four of his respective major (Hearts or Spades) but he could have thirty points and five or more cards in his bid major. You hold precisely three-card support in his major. It is your turn to bid. How do you proceed?<\/p>\n<p>But first, if you open One-Club and have six Clubs with sixteen or more points, you should jump in Clubs to Three-Clubs to show the strength and shape of your hand. However, if you have only a minimum hand for your opening (12-14 points) and there is no interference by the opposition, you now should bid One-No-Trump with your three-card support. Such a bid will allow partner to re-bid his major to show a five-card major suit. From there the bidding can proceed with agreement on the major suit knowing that your combined assets are an eight-card major, the magic fit.<\/p>\n<p>Now, what happens if your right-hand opponent bids Two-Clubs over partner\u2019s major suit response? This is where you use the \u201cSupport Double\u201d convention. You bid \u201cDouble\u201d over the opponent\u2019s Two-Club bid. Your Double tells partner that you have exactly three-card support for his major and you want to know if he has a five-card suit in that major because he has guaranteed only four with his bid. If in a different hand where you did have four-card support, you would bid the major at the two level directly, showing partner the combined eight-card major fit.<\/p>\n<p>The Support Double is a fun convention to find your major fit at a low bidding level. Use it only to find a major fit (Hearts or Spades). Use it only when partner can respond to your Double at the \u201cTwo\u201d level. Otherwise you may get up too high in your bidding. You and your partner must have an agreement for the \u201cSupport Double\u201d in this sequence of bids.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PORT CARLING UNITED CHURCH WOMEN FUNDRAISER<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>LUNCH AND BRIDGE\/EUCHRE\/CARD\/SCRABBLE PARTY, ALL WELCOME<br \/>\n<\/strong>12 NOON FOR LUNCH Friday, Sept 20, 2019 $20 per person<br \/>\nPort Carling Community Centre (lower level) Check-In 11:30<br \/>\nA great opportunity to enjoy companionship while supporting a cause.<br \/>\nArrange your foursome and bring necessary supplies for your table.<br \/>\nPlease pre-register by Sept 18.
