| If... | then... |
|---|---|
| Partner responded 2M, 3M, 2NT, or 3NT | These responses all show support for your major. See Subsequent bidding after major suit agreement |
| Partner responded 4M | Pass. The 4M response is preemptive and shows 5+ card support with very little strength. This is an instance of the "slow shows, fast denies" principle—if partner actually had a game-forcing hand, they would have made a different response in order to leave room for investigating the possibility of slam. |
| Partner made a double jump shift | This is a splinter. Alert the bid, then see Responding to a splinter. |
| Partner responded 1♠ to my 1♥ | See Opener's rebids following 1/1. |
| Partner responded 2 of a lower suit and is an unpassed hand | See Opener's rebids following 2/1. |
| Partner responded 2 of a lower suit and is a passed hand | See Opener's rebids after non-game-forcing 2/1. |
| Partner bid 1NT | This shows 6 to 12 HCP. Announce "semi-forcing", then see the section below on how to show both strength and distribution with rebids. |
| Partner responded 4NT | This is Blackwood. |
| If... | then... |
|---|---|
| I have a one-suited hand with 16- total points | Rebid your major. |
| I have a one-suited hand with 17+ total points | Jump-rebid your major. |
| I have a lower 4-card suit with 18- total points | Bid your other suit. |
| I have a lower 4-card suit with 19+ total points | Jump-shift into your other suit (i.e., bid it at the 3 level). |
| I have a higher 4-card suit with 17+ total points | Bid your other suit. (This is called a reverse.) |
| I have a higher 4-card suit with 16- total points | Don't bid the other suit, i.e., spades; your partner's 1NT response has already denied 4 spades, and you are not strong enough for a reverse. Instead, keep reading... |
| I have a balanced hand with 17-18 HCP | Respond 2NT, which is an invitation to 3NT. |
| I have a balanced hand with 19+ HCP | Respond 3NT. |
| I have a balanced hand with minimum opening strength (12 to 14 HCP) | Pass. Your partner has 12- HCP, so you most likely don't have a game... so stopping in 1NT isn't the worst thing you can do. |
| Otherwise (intermediate strength with no lower 4-card suit) | Bid a lower 3-card suit. (Yes, bidding a 3-card suit sucks. Opening 1NT with 5332 and 5422 distributions is a great way to reduce the number of situations where you have to do this. 5431 distributions with 5 hearts and 4 spades remain problematic, but that's the price to pay for playing a 2/1 system.) |
