Half the points
THIS MONTH…
THIS MONTH YOU ARE LUCKY TO HOLD HALF THE POINTS OF THE DECK: MAKE THE MOST OF THEM! HERE IS YOUR HAND AS SOUTH:
♠ AJ103
♥ AJ10
♦ AQ
♣ A852
You open 2NT and your partner bids 3♥.
What is your rebid?
It is now fashionable to play that accepting a major-suit transfer after a 2NT opening shows support: 3♠ (15 points) is therefore correct. Jumping to 4♠ (20 points), however, is more descriptive because it shows four trumps and all the controls. Over 4♠, partner asks for keycards. You respond 5♦ and he bids 6♣.
