Two Notrump Best Response In A 4-1 Spade Break
South opens two notrump after South West North East 1 Pass 1 Pass 2NT Pass B Becker analyzes the decision. Jumping to three clubs invites a pass, while two notrump risks a nonforcing response. If partner raises to three, play to minimize a bad club break by leading the eight or nine of clubs at trick two rather than ace, hoping to trap East and force down on a 40 club split. The key is to control the line of play and accept that only a 40 club division can defeat the contract.
