About this hand

Lorna covers when to overcall a suit, when 1NT fits, when a takeout double promises three in every unbid suit, and when "pass for now, not forever" is the smart play.

What you'll pick up

  • When a simple overcall fits vs. when 1NT is right
  • Takeout doubles: the three-cards-in-every-unbid-suit promise
  • "Pass for now, not forever" — the smart non-bid
  • Eight hands, one opening — eight different right answers
