In
real life, South bid 1NT forcing. He could not bid
4 ,
because
that would have shown a splinter in his
methods. West overcalled
2 and
East bid 5.
South had no idea what to do and finally
bid 5,
doubled, down one.
The
solution to this hand is to use 4 natural over
the opening
1 .
Everyone will pass and you buy the
contract.
Either
(1) give up the splinter bid in the other major,
or (2) use
3NT as a splinter in the other major, or
(3) use
3NT as a delayed
splinter bid, showing an
unspecified singleton. But keep
the majors
natural!
