  • Notrump Interference
    NoTrump Interference Don't you just hate it when the bidding goes P – 1N – P – P; P and the opponents end up with a good result? We learned about Balancing as a measure to keep opponents out of cheap contracts. Granted the 1N bid does show a bit stronger hand than a simple 1-of-a-suit Opener; but still the Openers Partner Passed so where are the other 25-33 HCP? Perhaps the majority of them are with your side and you might have a long-suit advantage from the fact that the power hand is balanced in shape. This latter fact forms the basis of Bids designed to keep opponents from playing easy 1N contracts. There have been many Conventions designed to this end but by far the two most popular which we will show here are Cappeletti, named after its proponent Mike C. and D.O.N.T another Marty Bergen invention where the Initials stand for Disturb Opponents No Trump. D.O.N.T Because of the list's length it may seem intimidating at first, but it really is quite simple. The opponent opens 1N and if you have a one or two suited hand you show that information to your partner. The single suited hand contains a 6+ Card suit: you use the ubiquitous X = Double to let partner know you have a long suit. If you have a two suited hand i.e. you have two suits most commonly 5-4 but could be 5-5 or even 6-5, you bid the lower ranking of the two suits, It makes no difference which is the stronger or longer – you bid the lower ranking suit to show the two suited hand.
