This is a possible minimum opening 1 bid: AQxxxxx x xxx Kx. If opener repeats his suit at the 2 level, he suggests a crummy hand. 2/1 bids show 11 hcp 1x-1nt is 7-10. Responder might pass an opening bid with 6 hcp. Any nt rebid by opener shows 14+. 1x-1y-1nt=14-16. 1x-1y-2nt=17-19. 1x-2y-2nt=14+ game force. DEFENSIVE BIDS This is our idea of a NV weak 2 bid: Kxxxx xxx xxxx x. Be warned: 2S might also be KJxxxxx Kxx xx x. HCP range for 2 bids is officially 3-9 in 1st/2nd seat. Jump overcalls are almost this bad at the 2 level also. Vs any suit opening, we can show any 5-5 with either michaels or 2nt. This is usually 3-10 hcp. (not enough to overcall 2 different suits) Can also be strong. 1nt overcall by passed hand or after 2 suits by opps is takeout. Cue at 3 level= gambling 3nt type hand. Balancing by unpassed hand: double=13+, may be offshape 1nt=10-14, no stopper needed simple suit=6-12 jump suit=14-18 SLAM BIDDING 1nt-4C is the only time we use gerber. After 1nt, 4nt is usually quant. unless a suit is known. Aftern 2nt, 4nt is always blackwood, rkc if a suit is known. Cue bids: Our control showing bids always show the cheapest available control of any kind: A, K, void, or stiff. Jump bids that sound like splinters are usually fit showing cuebids. in response to RKC, 5nt is even number of keys and a void, 6 of a suit is odd number and a void. ber of keys and a void, 6 of a suit is odd number and a void.
