In notrump, it is practically out of the question: with 15 or 16 points already located in the opponent\u2019s hand, you will never have the values you need. You can, however, hope to make high contracts when you hold <strong>good distribution<\/strong> and <strong>find a fit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-e8137d4\" data-block-id=\"e8137d4\"><style>.stk-e8137d4 {height:25px !important;}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This observation sets the framework for your overcalls:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Overcalls over a 1NT opening are <strong>always based on good distribution<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>With a <strong>balanced hand<\/strong>, even a strong one, <strong>you should pass<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your hand is unbalanced either when you hold a <strong>long suit<\/strong> or when you have a <strong>two-suiter<\/strong>. It becomes even more attractive for overcalling if, alongside your long suit(s), you also have a <strong>short suit<\/strong> (a singleton or a void). That short suit gives you a chance to \u201ccancel out\u201d your opponent\u2019s high-card strength: if he holds honors in the suit where you are short, you will ruff them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>I.

Overcalling with a two-suiter<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finding a fit that lets you bid successfully at a fairly high level is all the more likely when you can show partner two suits. So it is only logical that the system for overcalling 1NT gives pride of place to <strong>two-suited overcalls<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>a) The major two-suiter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first two-suiter to describe is, of course, the <strong>major two-suiter<\/strong>, which lets you compete in either major. A bid has long existed to show it: the famous <strong>2&#x2663; Landy<\/strong>. A 2&#x2663; overcall of 1NT shows a major two-suiter with <strong>at least nine cards<\/strong> (five and four). Vulnerable, this overcall shows the equivalent of a minimum opening. Not vulnerable against vulnerable, you can go down to 7\u20138 HCP, especially with a 5-5 two-suiter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"854\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Article_2_EN_.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-133265\" style=\"width:501px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Article_2_EN_.png 1000w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Article_2_EN_-300x256.png 300w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Article_2_EN_-767x655.png 767w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This overcall will often help you find a good partscore or a good sacrifice, but it would be too dangerous vulnerable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>b) The other two-suiters<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes you hold another two-suiter, made up of one major and one minor, or of <strong>both minors<\/strong>. The latter is shown with a well-known bid, the <strong>2NT overcall<\/strong>. The risk is significant, because you force partner to bid at the three-level when a fit is by no means certain. Be careful: only use this bid with two really solid suits, 6-5. Something like &#x2660;5 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2665;<\/span>3 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2666;<\/span>KJ1085 &#x2663;AQ10953&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>If your two-suiter is made up of a major and a minor<\/strong>, the traditional system does not let you show it.

The only solution is to bid 2<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2665;<\/span>, planning to mention the diamonds later if the auction allows. You will do the same with a hand close to an opening bid, with just a good five-card major and a singleton:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"854\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Article_3_EN_.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-133267\" style=\"width:500px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Article_3_EN_.png 1000w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Article_3_EN_-300x256.png 300w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Article_3_EN_-767x655.png 767w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your chances of making a high contract are not negligible, and your risk of a penalty is small. Get into the fight, even without a sixth spade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rule<\/strong>:<em> A two-level overcall in a major can be made with a <strong>5-5 two-suiter<\/strong>, or even <strong>5-4 with a good suit<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>c) The question of the double<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s go back to the problem of balanced hands.

You are about to open 1NT when, to your amazement, your opponent opens 1NT himself. What can you do? Your first instinct is to double the cheeky opponent. A penalty double: you think he will go down, simple as that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trouble is, you can\u2019t be sure of anything. You have 17 points, your opponent at least 15. The remaining 7 or 8 points are split at random between the other two hands. If your partner has 6 points, the opponents\u2019 contract will probably go down. If opener\u2019s partner has them, you won\u2019t even have enough to beat 2NT, all the more so because you are very likely to give away a trick on your opening lead. In fact, making a penalty double of a 1NT opening with a balanced hand is a bad bet. Resign yourself to passing, and hope to beat whatever contract the opponents end up in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rule<\/strong>:<em> With a <strong>balanced hand<\/strong>, <strong>pass<\/strong> over the opening, <strong>even with a strong hand<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This approach \u201cfrees up\u201d the double.
