This Week in Bridge Practice Hands
Responding to 1NT with Weak Hands (Set 1 of 8)
When partner opens the bidding with 1NT and we have a weak hand (fewer than 8 points), we are generally not interested in game. We turn our focus to finding the best partscore contract for our side. A balanced 15-17 point hand does not usually have much success in 1NT when the dummy is extremely weak. We need to search for a better place to play. Let's see how to use our bidding tools to survive these auctions.
