What does this double after a freely bid 3NT bid mean? - with Jack Stocken
May 16, 2022 9:46 am
Hi ,
What does this double after a freely bid 3NT bid mean? Is it a penalty double? Or is it communicating something else?
A little known fact is that a double of a freely bid 3NT contract (ie 1NT - 3NT) asks partner to lead a heart. A double of a 3NT contract with a suit bid asks partner to lead dummy's first bid suit.

Supervised Play Session & Lesson with India Natt née Leeming
A reminder that on Monday there is a special play session / lesson which is discounted for all members of Jack's classes. Some spots still available. All are welcome! We'd love to see you there.
Monday at 11:30am NY time / 4:30pm UK time
$2 or £1 for members / $8 or £6 or non-members
A play session… with a twist! You will play 4 hands that have a uniting theme.
However, India will not be telling you what that theme is until afterwards. Then, in our virtual classroom, everyone will discuss what happened together and India will advise on what should have happened.
A great balance between a lesson and supervised play – you will be practising a certain skill but you will not be able to rely on any prior knowledge about the lesson topic!

Thank you for watching and for your support. Learning about this 3NTX from Jack really blew my mind! I could hardly focus on how to play the hand afterwards. Were you familiar with this bid?
Your partner in learning,
