See What Brian Does
Real conversations. Real hands. This is what it looks like when you talk to Brian.
♠KQ73 ♥A84 ♦K52 ♣J96 — 12 HCP, balanced. Open or pass?
Open 1♦. With 12 HCP you're right at the minimum, but this is a solid opener.
Your spades are too good to bury — open 1♦ now and if partner responds 1♥, you bid 1♠ next to show your 4-card major. If partner responds 1♠, raise. You've described your whole hand in two bids.
What if partner responds 1NT?
Pass. Partner's 1NT shows 6-9 HCP — you have a combined 18-21 points. That's not enough for game. Your hand is minimum, balanced, and partner's shown a weak hand. Take the plus score.
Opening bid analysis — Brian explains the reasoning, not just the answer
Partner opens 1NT. I have ♠KJ82 ♥AQ73 ♦J4 ♣952. Stayman or transfer?
Bid 2♣ Stayman. You have four spades AND four hearts — Stayman lets you find a 4-4 fit in either major. Transfers only work with a single 5-card major.
If partner shows a major, raise to game. If partner bids 2♦ (no major), jump to 3NT with your 11 HCP. Either way, you've found the right contract.
Partner bids 2♦. Should I just give up on majors?
Yes — 2♦ means partner doesn't have four of either major. Bid 3NT. You have 11 HCP + partner's 15-17 = 26-28 combined. That's plenty for 3NT. Your ♥AQ73 is a solid source of tricks even without a fit.
Stayman vs transfers — Brian handles conventions with precision
Just got back from club. I held ♠Q73 ♥K54 ♦AJ82 ♣J96 (10 HCP). Partner opened 1♠, RHO overcalled 2♥. I passed. Did I mess up?
Yes, passing was a mistake. With 10 HCP and three-card spade support, you should bid 2♠ — a simple raise showing 6-9 points and a fit.
The overcall doesn't silence you; it narrows your options. Your ♥K54 is a useful half-stop and your hand is worth competing. Let the opponents know they can't have the auction for free.
