DAILY QUESTION

You hold: 832 KQ1085

QJ1083 None. The opponents are vulnerable. The dealer, at your right, opens one club. What do you say?

ANSWER: You should act. To overcall one heart would be acceptable, but you can mention both your suits at once. Jump to 2NT. An “Unusual” 2NT bid usually shows length in both minors, but over a one-club opening, it shows the red suits. Most often, the bid suggests a possible sacrifice against an opposing game.
