I believe I had the director called on me today for not alerting this bid in the game. 20:01:58 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone: NO Sharon :) The Unusual 2NT is not alertable. 20:06:59 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone: The Unusual 2NT shows at least 5/5 in the two lowest unbid suits. Your hand will be: Weak - 5-11 (NV) or 6-11 (V) or Strong - 16+ 20:07:26 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone: When you hold "just and opening hand," you should overcall the higher-ranking suit, and plan to rebid the lower. 20:07:41 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone: You bid Unusual 2NT with either a weak or a strong hand. 20:08:43 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone: TWELVE CARDS in 2 SUITS! Very Special! 20:09:20 From Bronia Jenkins To Everyone: Reacted to "TWELVE CARDS in 2 SU..." with ❤️ 20:12:43 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone: Suit Preference signal by defenders -- you can talk through your cards! ;) 20:14:16 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone: If West has the KD and a small on, they're always scoring the King. If the King is bare, (singleton), it will drop beneath the Ace. 20:16:12 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone: Unusual 2NT shows 5/5 or 6/5 or 6/6 in the two lowest UNBID suits. 20:17:23 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone: ARTIFICIAL and NOT alertable - Unusual 2NT 20:19:19 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone: @Lin Saffer made 5C doubled on that last one! 👏 20:20:40 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone: Every time the responder bids a new suit, it's 100% forcing! 20:21:04 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone: In a suit contract, Declarer must first count losers to start the plan. 20:22:17 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone: When you overtake partner's K with your A, then you lead another of that suit, partner knows you only have a doubleton. 20:23:22 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone: Here comes another diamond! Yikes! 20:24:43 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone: UPPERCUT … An "uppercut" in bridge is a defensive play where a player ruffs high, and it promotes a trump card into a winner for the defenders. Often it's a defender ruffing high to promote a trump in their partner's hand. In this deal, though, the uppercut forces declarer to ruff high. Either way, the uppercut is a type of trump promotion for the defending side. 20:25:41 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone: Lots to learn on that hand! 20:26:42 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone: 🤓 Find the video recording and the lesson hands (and a copy of this chat!) at this link tomorrow: https://www.acbl.org/portfolio/community-games/ 20:27:51 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone: Distribution... distribution... distribution... Woohoo! 🥳🤩😉🥰 20:29:09 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone: 2NT shows at least 5/5 in in two lowest unbid suits. 20:29:52 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone: With a massive suit fit, it's a GO for bidding game! 🚀 20:31:51 From Pam To Everyone: If they collected the trump and ran the diamonds, it might work? 20:36:04 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone: 🐼 When you're missing stoppers in 2 suits, and you bid one of the suits, that SHOWS a stopper in the suit. 🐸 When you're missing a stopper in the opponent's suit, cuebidding their suit ASKS partner for a stopper in it. 20:36:26 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone: 🤓 Find the video recording and the lesson hands (and a copy of this chat!) at this link tomorrow: https://www.acbl.org/portfolio/community-games/
