Jacoby 2NT by Matthias Huberschwiller

In this quiz we will look over major suit raises by responder.

We will have to use the Jacoby 2NT, which shows a four-card fit and a hand that's good enough to go to game, or further.

Question 1

Your Hand
♠ A 6
♥ K 9 5 2
♦ K Q 6
♣ A Q 5 2

Q: 1 - What do you bid as South?

South	West	North	East
-	-	1♥	Pass
?

A: 2 NT - This is the perfect bid for these kind of hands. You show your partner the Heart fit, and he will describe his hand. Then you'll be able to use control bids and Blackwood. No need to rush to Blackwood with such a great hand.
