Finding The Best Game
Points - But Where Do We Go?
1♥ from North, so we are bidding to game. I just don't know which game to bid yet so i'll start with 1♠. North bids 2♣ and I still don't know which game to bid. I could bid three 3NT, but my diamond suit's a little dodgy and I do have a five card spade suit. Maybe 4♠ is the right contract. Maybe 4♥, maybe 5♣.
More Information Please
Because I don't know I'm going to just explore a little more and I'm going to bid the fourth suit. Notice hearts, spades and clubs have been bid already. When I bid the fourth suit it doesn't necessarily have to be a four card suit. But it is forcing so I can get a little bit more information from North.
North Shows Something In Diamomds
And that's fine. If North had spade support or partial spade support he would have bid spades. So North will have something in diamonds and that's good enough for me.
We're In The Best Contract
Well, North didn't have a lot in diamonds! But it's enough.
