Scoring: MP


North passed (I know not everyone's choice, but try to live with it), South opens 1. West psycked 1NT natural overcall, and if avaible, East will escape to 2.

Obviously North doubles 1NT. When 2 is passed back to North, he bids 2. South will force to game with 3 and North will bid 3NT.

If the issue is how do you get to 6, sorry, I can't help you there. Once North fails to open the bidding it will be hard to reach 6 on any auction, let alone an auction that includes a psyched 1NT by LHO.

I would probably end up in 3NT.

I feel strongly south should open 2NT (or if you insist it's too good 2 then 2NT, but to treat it as balanced.) The auction is so much simpler, and he avoids auctions with interference. 2NT 3 3 4NT 6, perfect.

I would have started with pass too, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

Actual auction:

P (P) 1 (1NT)
then I think should go
DBL (2) P (P)
2 3
3NT ??

If south bids 4NT now it probably goes 5 by north, 6 by south. But he might pass 3NT instead, it's a close decision opposite a passed hand. I really think he should bid on, north doesn't even need QJ of hearts to make slam good.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.
