Is it likely that you would be trying for game now? No, you probably have a hand similar to the last one, but with a few more high cards to account for the opponents’ failure to bid game. Perhaps you hold: ♠ Q84 ♥ J7 ♦ 85 ♣ K 10 9 6 4 3 Bidding the Opponents’ Suit * 63 and you are happy that your clubs are as good as they are (you might have had to bid clubs with ♣J76432). This next auction is perhaps a bit more controversial than the previous ones: WEST NORTH pass 1♠ EAST 1♦ SOUTH 1♥ 2♦ pass Is your 2♦ bid natural or a cuebid?

If partner opened 1♠, you would respond 1NT with ♠3 ♥ Q9875 ♦ A8754 ♣ 62 to give him another chance (hoping for him to rebid 2♥), but if partner overcalls 1♠, you should never consider bidding 1NT, no matter what the opening bid was. A 1NT response to an overcall shows roughly 8-12 HCP with at least one stopper in the opponent’s suit, and probably two stoppers if you are at the lower end of the range. So, if the bidding goes WEST 1♦ NORTH 1♠ EAST pass SOUTH ? you should bid 1NT with hands like these: ♠ ♠ J 6 ♥ Q 10 8 ♦ K 10 7 5 ♣ Q J 4 2 8 ♥ KJ87 ♦ Q974 ♣ AQ75 You would respond 2NT (non-forcing) with 13-14 HCP and bid 3NT directly with 15 HCP and poor spade support.
