Hi there Graeme from Dublin Ireland

[@Skybridgeclub]

Hello there, Irene. 😀

[@virginiaduffield3868]

Could you have oc 2nt instead of double?

[@Skybridgeclub]

Reasonable idea but a jump overcall of 2NT is often played as ‘unusual’ showing 5-5 in the lower two unbid suits. That’s the system used at Sky Bridge Club so 2NT wasn’t an option for me.

[@marciasikimeti3401]

I’ve played as well..

rule of 16 , ie add all the high point and your trump card, if =16 bid 4 level

[@Skybridgeclub]

Thanks! Very helpful.

[@gracielajuda9659]

Graeme please hands with doubles. They are so confusing

[@jeanisabelodonnell5882]

Then you would find the spades with partner

[@jeanisabelodonnell5882]
