About this hand
Your partner's 1NT just got overcalled — and most pairs don't have a clean answer. Lorna walks you through hers: drop dead at the two level, game-force at the three, double to claim the hand, and cue-bid their suit as Stayman. Five hands cover the full ladder, with a clear-eyed look at why stolen-bid doubles cost more than they save.
What you'll pick up
- Drop-dead at the two level — when a weak hand is just a weak hand
- Game-force at the three — the bid that claims the contract
- Doubling to claim the hand vs. cue-bidding their suit as Stayman
- Why stolen-bid doubles cost more than they save
