1NT openings This week Different continuations By responder Re-bids by opener Some extra things about the scoring
10
1NT Opener Means what? 12-14 HCP No 5 card major No singleton or void Not more than 1 doubleton
11
Responses to 1NT Openings Last week we looked at <11 HCP no 5 card suit we bid? Pass <11 HCP with a 5 card suit we bid? 2 of that suit. Which is called? A Weakness Take Out 11-12 HCP balanced we bid? 2NT Invitational >12 HCP balanced we bid? 3NT
12
Responses to 1NT But what if we have more than 10HCP And the hand is not balanced Today we will look at the bidding for these types of hand
13
Partner has opened 1 NT This is your hand You have 4 HCP And 5 ’s You bid 2 You bid 2 A weakness take out Opener MUST Pass KK 33 TT 66 33 J 8 7 55 44 6 3
14
Partner has opened 1 NT This is your hand You have 14 HCP And 5 ’s You cannot bid 2 You cannot bid 2 Partner will Pass Bid 3 Bid 3 Showing 5 ’s And enough for game Partner can choose KK 33 QQ 66 33 K Q 7 AA 44 6 3
15
Partner has opened 1 NT This is your hand You have 11 HCP And 5 ’s And 5 ’s You cannot bid 2 You cannot bid 2 Partner will Pass Bid 3 Bid 3 Showing 5 ’s Showing 5 ’s And enough for game The 5 card suit adds enough for game KK 33 QQ JJ 33 7 AA JJ 6 3 77 44 22

17
Suit responses to 1NT With 11+ HCP And a 5 card major Tell partner about the major by bidding it at the 3 level This is a Forcing bid Partner MUST not Pass But should select the game With 6 of the major bid the game in that suit immediately
18
Partner has opened 1 NT This is your hand You have 20 HCP And a balanced hand Game is certain Slam may be on If partner has 14 HCP Bid 4NT Partner Passes with 12 Bids 6NT with 14 Guesses with 13 QQ 88 QQ JJ 33 A AA JJ K 3 77 KK 33
19
Partner has opened 1 NT This is your hand You have 22 HCP And a balanced hand Game is certain Slam is on Bid 6NT QQ 88 QQ JJ 33 A AA JJ K Q 77 KK 33
20
Slams in NT You need 33 HCP in the 2 hands for a small slam That’s 12 tricks 37 for a grand slam 13 tricks 33 ensures you are not missing 2 aces 37 ensures you are not missing any So a response of 4NT shows 19-20 A response of 6NT shows 21+
