Bd #5, I think you said you would not bid 1C-P-2N since it is GF. So how do you show the balanced 11-12 range often bid by 2N when playing inverted minors? After 1C. After 1D Opening
After 1♣ I would bid 1♦ any time I had 4 diamonds. This lets me hear if partner bids 1M (in which case game is in range) or 1NT which would mean I am not strong enough to invite with 11 points. If I don't have 4 diamonds (3-3-3-4) then I would decide between inverted and 1NT, leaning towards 1NT. Over 1♦ I just bid 1NT unless my hand was suitable for inverted minors (I'd usually bid inverted with 4+♦). There is a lot of upside to playing 1m-2N as GF, its worth it for the cost of not having an automatic bid with your 11-12 counts.
Thanks
B7. I was East. Pd bids 2♥ after 1♦-(1♠)-X. What's my right call? (I bid 2NT intended as natural at the table.)
My choices are 3♥ to invite or 4♥ to bid game. I lean towards game because I have good trumps, but my queen of spades doesnt look like a great card. When in doubt, bid a game.
Hand 6 they incorrectly bid p -1h-p-2c I then bid 2 d lead directing………too aggressive?
Yes it is way too aggressive to enter the opponent's game forcing auction with that hand. Doubles are penalty in 2/1 and you are asking to go for your life on a hand that they don't rate to make a slam.
