- This is exactly how my primary partner and I would have bid the hand.
- The 2NT bid is "Good-Bad 2NT" on our card (similar but not identical
- to its description in Bergen and Lawrence). We use 2N for a hand
- containing competitive but not invitational values. A direct bid
- of 3D is invitational in the context of the auction.
