So many of the questions Curt's students send him are about really distributional hands, "What should I bid?! How can we deal with this?! We don't know what to do!!!"
Maryellen joins Curt to play through a wild random hand that Curt played recently.
Partner passes and our RHO opens 1♠. We overcall 2♣, our LHO bids 2♦ and then opener raises diamonds to 3♦. Should we bid our clubs again? Or bid our hearts? Or.... pass?

So what would double mean on the second round? I can't see how it could be penalties.
Six clubs would be a good sac over 5D. 300 vs 400.
I would pass, P did't bid, & don't. know the vulnerability. NV /V , I may bid 4C.
AFTER LOOKING AT THE VEDIO, I was surprised at 3H bid by Curtis. Makes sense!
4 club
The hand is very strong - it has only 4 losers! Only 14 HCP, but very strong shape - bid 3H!
Hi Curt, thanks for the video-very helpful. Is there any clues on how we can tell if the opponents can actually make game? So we can make a sacrifice bid?
With a 4 loser count, I would force my P to bid by changing suits to 3!h. P will know I have 4 !h (I didn't use Michaels) and that I have a long suit and a powerful hand. There's also a reasonable chance that P has some of their !ds.
Why not double to make partner bid
Also shows the other major
South has only 4 losers - another reason to bid the hearts. Repeating the club suit tells partner that's all you have
Long time no see, Mary Ellen!
double
Yes. Use the double for takeout to see what partner responds as their best suit and go from there.
Very informative , particularly bidding 3H, however not a mention of losers? The hand had 4 losers and I’d have thought regardless of partners strength that alone would be sufficient to bid further. Disasters do occur but in general with such a long suit what’s our concern. If partner is weak (as was) what our concern in competing? I would have bid over their 3d, and as we saw the have 5d!
I’m sorry but I really don’t see the concern about bidding without support from partner?
Assume opponents bid 5 Diamonds over 5 Clubs; On this layout 6 clubs is a good sacrifice but I don’t think it’s biddable - maybe at favourable vulnerability. Any thoughts?
I would have bid 3 Clubs over East's 1 Spade opening. That would have made it more awkward for West. Furthermore if North passes again, then south will not bid again
Many play that as a weak jump overcall, so would misinform partner as to your HCP
@@sbpierce9987 Then what would a strong jump overcall be. 2 Clubs is weak and 4 club bid is too high?
