Another horror. With this bad a hand, you can’t afford to end up in the wrong suit. You can guess which red suit to bid, which will be a big loser if you guess wrong. Or you can let partner do it himself.

Again, there are two ways to do it. You can bid 1NT and then redouble when they double you, as they will. If North bids a red suit, you pass of course. If he bids 2♣, they will double and you will redouble again. The two redoubles by South on this hand are both SOS bids.

Alternatively, you can pass the redouble and wait to see what partner does. Assuming he bids 2♣, you will redouble and get right out of them.

If your partner bids 1NT and gets doubled, you will redouble asking him to bid a suit. As before, if he bids a red suit, you pass. If he bids clubs and gets doubled, redouble and ask him to try one more time.
