West overcalled at 2&#x2660;, showing Spades and a minor. What should I say? Double, 2NT, or 3NT?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I tell her:<\/strong> \u201cI can&#8217;t answer like that, I need to know if you had a Spade stopper and how good your Clubs were.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Clothilde:<\/strong> \u201cI had six Clubs headed by King-Queen and Queen third of Spades.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> \u201cIn that case, I would have said 3NT. I would have considered that my hand &#8211; with a good six-card suit and the well-placed Queen third in Spades was well worth 10 points. 2NT is a transfer to Clubs that I use either when I have a weak hand or when I don&#8217;t want to play 3NT. As for the Double, it is true that you have to use it when you have eight points or more, but with more balanced distributions, without a six-card suit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Her:<\/strong> \u201cDon&#8217;t worry, I bid 3NT but I was wondering if I should announce my Clubs first.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> \u201cCareful Clothilde, it&#8217;s like when the opponents pass. If you choose to transfer to Clubs, it means that you have a serious dislike in playing 3NT. Here, bidding 2NT then 3NT would show a stopper problem in Spades.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Her:<\/strong> \u201cOkay, so we bid well. Here are the two hands. West started with the King of Spades for East&#8217;s two. She set up her Spades and I went down because the Clubs were blocked.

And then, in the fourth round of the suit, my fourth Club is necessarily bigger than the Clubs in dummy. So I&#8217;m blocked and can only get four Club tricks. And since the King of Diamonds is offside, I went down.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> \u201cThank you Clothilde, I saw the blockage, but you could discard a Club on the third round of Spades to unblock the suit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Her:<\/strong> \u201cYes, I promise you that I would have thought of it if she had played three rounds of Spades but unfortuna\u0002tely, she played the Jack of Spades on the second round!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> \u201cWell yes, it&#8217;s true that she didn&#8217;t make it easy for you.
