After A Two Over One Response Flashcards

1
Q

After a two over one response, we have at least ruled out parts cores from the level equation. This creates lots of bidding options we can have below game since both partners know that they will not stop until or beyond game. The goal is to find the best strain and explore slam.

Q

Reversing

1H. 2D
2S

Means what?

A

The reverse is a bid In new suit than is higher than the cheapest possible rebid in the first suit. It promises extra value beyond a minimum opener so usually 16-21 HCP, and the second suit bid is always shorter than the opening bid.

Some do like like reverses because bidding is already forcing to game and opener might be better off just showing shape and not value with his/her second bid.

Q

Raising partner’s minor

1S. 2C
3C

Means what?

A

At least three card support, but if you have only three you should have an honor in that suit.

This is a rare bid because it takes away bidding room, and the goal is not to find a minor fit.

Q

Raising partner’s heart suit

1S. 2H
3H

Means what?

A

Generally four card support, a minimum opening hand, and since we “arrived fast” usually no interest in slam.

Q

Jump rebidding of your major;

1S 2C
3S

Means what?

A

Shows a completely solid 6 card suit that doesn’t necessarily have extra values. You are strongly suggesting playing in NT or your major.

Q

A simple rebid of your own suit;

1S 2C
2S

Means what?

A

When you have at least six cards in your major suit, with or without extra values.

Unfortunately, there are hands when you only have five in your major, but have no other rebids to make.

Q

3NT

1S 2C
3NT

Means what?

A

Shows a near solid 6 card or longer suit, usually just missing 1 of the top three honors, and stoppers in all other suits; expect 6-3-2-2.

Note that we would usually take this at 18-19 points, balanced, and I think that a more natural bid.

Q

Rebidding at the 4 level

1S 2C
4S

Means what?

A

Shows a quality suit of 7-8 cards and 7-8 tricks, usually with too much strength to open with a preemptive bid at the 3 or 4 level.

AQ432. K8
K73. Q108
J95. A64
K9. AQ876

A

1S 2C

2S….nothing else fits
2NT….stalling and forcing
3NT….the correct end point.

KJ1087 A5
AQ4 K87
KQ4 J107
A6 KQJ87

A

1S 2C
3NT 4NT
6NT pass

We would do 3NT with balanced 18-19 and not 2NT (as book says). 4NT says I’ve got a big hand too and you can go straight to 6NT.

Here are both hands. Construct the proper bidding sequence;

AKQJ92 105

A5 KQ62
62. AKQ965

A

1S. 2C
3S. 4C
4D. 5C
5S. 6S

The 4D simply says I have a stopper in diamonds, please bid more. 5C says grand slam is possible if you have a control in hearts. 5S says I’ve got nothing more to say. 6S is bid because responder can handle hearts after 1st round.

Q

Here are both hands. Construct the proper bidding sequence;

AJ105 KQ42
Q10765 3
K AQJ104
AQJ K76

A

1H. 2D
2S. 3S
4C. 4D
5D. 6S

2S is a reverse and pretty natural too. 3S is a cuebid of first round control; slam try. 4C is a cuebid of first round control; slam try. 5D is a second round control. 6S responder knows opener must be concerned about hearts since he was unable to cuebid them over 4D or go on to slam on his own but this is one time shortness in partner’s first suit is a good thing.

QJ6. K75
43. AKQ876
Q42. 53

A

1S. 2D
2NT. 3D
3NT

2NT is usually 12-14 balanced as here. 3D is to show really good diamonds and not stopping before game. 3NT is signing off.

AQ43. KJ87652
K54. A
2. 987

A

1S. 2H

5D. 6H

4C is a splinter bid (shortness in clubs and four card support for hearts). 4NT asks for aces. 5D is one ace.

19
Q

Here are both hands. Construct the proper bidding sequence;

KQ1065. A6
A65. KQ4
A4. KJ876
876. 954

A

1S. 2D
2NT. 3NT

Is the most straightforward but could also go

1S. 2D
2S. 2NT
3D. 3S
3NT

2S with just 5 cards , 2NT says tell me more, 3D says some diamond support, 3S says less than 3 card spade support, and 3NT end bid (but some might go with 4S because no club support has been said).

20
Q

Here are both hands. Construct the proper bidding sequence;

AK876. 104

6. A4

A

2H.   4H
4NT. 5D
5NT  6D
7H

2H says at least 4 hearts. 4H says four card support, fast arrival, and thus a minimum two over one hand. 4NT is Blackwood. 5D says one ace. 5NT asks for kings. 6D says one King.

2NT, 12-14 HCP in a balanced hand with unbid suits stopped.

Q

1S. 2C

What do you do holding,

AQ432

1S. 2C

What do you do holding

AQ6543
K5
QJ76
4

2S, you have a choice between a new suit and rebidding a six card (major) suit, with a weak hand rebid the six card suit.

26
Q

1S. 2C

Holding this what do you do,

AQ7654
K5
AQ43
