Tonight, it felt like a losing game because we failed more than succeeded. But after counting closely, out of 15 hands, I played five and won four; collectively we only made 8.
The 4♦️hand: I’ve 14 hcp and my P has 12, with a void of spade ♠️. I couldn’t remember what was the reason to land us in 4 diamonds, which I’ve 3 and P has 4. But her void of spade helped a lot.
The last hand, I’ve 19 hcp, my P has 12 hcp. I dealt and opened with 1NT and my P respond w/ 2C:
A “2 club” response to a “1NT” opening in bridge is typically a Stayman bid, which means the responder is asking partner if they have a 4-card major suit, prompting the opener to bid their longest major suit if they have one; if not, the opener should rebid 2 diamonds to show no 4-card major.
- me 1 NT; p; PT 2♣️: asking for a major suit
- Pass; me 2♥️; pass;
- PT 4H
So 4 hearts it’s, and I made 5.
