2♣ No Fit

Shows the high end of the weak response to 1♣

This is showing no fit for the bid major < 3 cards

 

2♦ - Asks partner to bid major with a doubleton or bid the other major if singleton or void (16-17 HCP)

  • Doesn't say anything about the other major
  • Game is unlikely but opener might just be looking for more info on the distribution
    • Will have to jump to game after this bid
    • Can quit at 2NT or scramble for minor

 

Rebid Major - Shows 6+ hearts probably lower end of the range (16-17 HCP)

 

2♠ over 1♥ bid - Reverse (18+ HCP)

  • 5+♥ and 4♠
  • Lebonsohl isn't necessary because they already showed 6-7 points
  • Partner likely doesn't have a fit in either suit if hearts was the first bid so just point showing and distribution although could have 6 hearts

 

 

2NT - Game Force Waiting (18+ HCP)

  • Avoid going to the 3rd level but signal game force
  • Can be quite a few distributions
    • Partner should show any 6+ card suit with slam possibility or sign off in 3NT

 

 

3♣ - 6+ ♣ with 4 of the Major

 

3♦ - 6+ ♦ with 4 of the Major

 

3M - 7+ of the Major (16-17 HCP)

  • sets the suit but not enough for game unless partner has something interesting

 

 

4M - 7+ Major no interest in slam but enough for Game
