Development after 3
opening bid
Remember that the 3 opening bid shows at least 5 cards in each minor and promises 4 to 6 (Roman) losers. The responses are:
pass or 3 | a signoff |
3 | game force (trumps = s) |
3 | game force (trumps = s) |
| 3N | to play |
| 4 or 4 | invitational |
| 4 or 4 | final |
Opener's rebids
| 3 - 3 | raise gently with 4 losers |
| 3 - 3 or 3 | Opener starts by showing which Major suits he controls, Step 1 = control, Step 2 = control, Step 3 = both controlled If enemy overall, the steps for showing control apply as long as the overall is no higher than our trump suit at the 5 level -1; Example 3 p 3 4S steps applies. If instead, the enemy bids 5D or higher, then steps do not apply. — John Kinn 2020/07/08 15:26 |
