RHO bid in no trumps
If RHO bid 2NT promising (say) 10+ points then you must proceed with a little caution -
However, if RHO offered just 1NT then he has not promised very much and you should be prepared to compete.
Further, if you have support for partner you should not be overly put off by RHO’s presumed holding in the suit -
As when RHO passed you should be prepared in general to raise partner’s suit to the level of the fit on a weakish hand or show good support with a cue-
With less than three-
With a good suit you should not hesitate to compete.
If RHO had passed you would have had only one artificial bid available -
Your bid in a new suit would therefore have to show some values as well as good suit quality -
But now that RHO has produced 1NT you have a further bid available -
Use this bid to show any non-
This leaves you free to compete with no more than a quality suit -
