¿Question #5334?
ssmooth: Suppose you've just looked at your hand and decided to bid One No Trump when it gets around to your turn. But your partner bids first and opens One No Trump! What will you do now?

mattomaw: See if your opponents share your political viewpoint.
xofour: go through all the saved up newspapers looking at the bridge articles to find this scenario while everybody else is refreshing their drinks.
BOBBYCAN: Ask somebody what game we're playing.
pricero1: It depends on whether you're using Acol or not.
Woelf: Call Tichu?
SimGuy: Three No Trump
Jatoha: Two no Trump?
senorcoo: I hate Hi-low Jack.
jessitron: bid seven spades
Polgara: don't play bridge
ositobrian: Groan
diemacher: Pass
DHEK: I realize that I don't know the game and ask my opponents to remind me how to play the game.
Eric Haas: Bid two no-trump, obviously.
One Fat Pug: Kick her under the table.
Red Dragon: Suggest playing a different game.
Geosmores: no idea
illicit: Kick him.
puffinge: depends on what game we are playing
scriptorum: I'm fairly novice at bridge, but I'd probably bring it to 3NT.
ellephai: Wish that I had a chance to play bridge more so that I'd know the answer to this question.
GilvanBlight: No clue. Don't play too many card games.
mrspank: 3 No Trump.
djlg: Bid 3 No Trumps
Shotmagnet: have a vivid hallucination of blowing his head off, then bid 1 spade
bigbadsteve: i tell my partner TRUMP THIS!!!
Chris Page: Cheese off your partner by jumping to seven no trump, then photograph the expression on his/her face.
Hossen: Hope the next playwer doubles so I can redouble. I think.
mrbeankc: Play something else
Beowulf: See? There's a right answer to this question, but I don't know what it is. This is why I stink at bridge. Good thing none of my friends play it.
brainrob: Pass
stray_flux: recount my points and go for the throat
Kazin: Gah! Bridge! Run away!
locusshifter: Cry
POvidiusNaso: Crap my pants and run screaming from the room.
ssmooth: The correct answer, according to Goren, is to bid Six No Trump. (Figuring that you know how much high card strength you have between you and that you both have No Trump distribution, so go ahead and go straight where you're going.) This has only ever happened to me once, and sure enough, we made the small slam exactly.
jttm: Lose.
Lord_Prussian: Depends on the convention
skelebone: Ooh, I don't know anything about bridge bidding conventions. But are you bidding 1 NT to tell your partner about your hand, or do you think that's what you can take?
Spielfreak: Tell my partner he's fired?
chaddyboy_2000: Oh crap, it looks like I was forced to play a trick-taking game.
CDRodeffer: Assuming this is Contract Bridge, this indicates about 28 to 32 points, so unless you're an idiot, it almost guarantees game and probably more than 60% chance at a slam. Using Blackwood, jump to 3NT (4C if you're a Goren freak) to ask for aces then 4NT (or 5C) to ask for kings, then 6 or 7 for the slam depending upon your partner's responses.
