B6. Why would dbl by Advancer be showing a fit rather than a responsive double for the unbid suits? Thanks

B/3, with a double fit for E/W, shouldn't E bid 5C over 4H by N? That allows W to decide on the final contract. Also W bidding D and then C may show longer C suit, Had W bid C and then D, wouldn't that be a reverse?

Yes I think east should bid over 4H because of the double fit and nice cards.

Bd 8 - Yes, this is a "perfect" 1NT overcall, but knowing that partner had virtually nothing, I was afraid I would never get to partner's hand to finesse. Passing was a bad choice on this hand, can you explain why I shouldn't have worried?

Josh DonnTeacherSep 2, 2024

You don't know partner has virtually nothing. It's possible but partner usually has a little bit of values to help you out.

Would it be possible to get PBN files of these hands for future games?

At our table, the bidding went 1♦ - 1NT - 2NT - ? What would the different bids show?
