User:Brian/Bridge/Rebids after a 2C opening
From PEGWiki
The following rebids should be commonly understood:
If... | then ... |
---|---|
Partner responded 2♦ and I have 22–24 HCP with a balanced hand | Rebid 2NT, systems on. |
Partner responded 2♦ and I have 25–27 HCP with a balanced hand | Rebid 3NT.
|
Partner responded 2♦ and I have a 5+-card suit | Bid your suit. Prefer showing a major before a minor.
With suit agreement, you can explore slam with control bidding or Blackwood. Otherwise, subsequent bidding varies according to partnership agreement. |
Partner responded 2♦ and I have a 4441 distribution | Wish you had opened 1m instead. |
Partner responded 2NT and I'm balanced | Make a quantitative raise. |
Partner responded 2♥, 2♠, 3♣, or 3♦ and I have 3+-card support with 25+ total points | Bid 4NT, Blackwood. |
Partner responded 2♥, 2♠, 3♣, or 3♦ and I have 3+-card support | Make a single raise (i.e., 3♥, 3♠, 4♣, or 4♦) to show support; partner should then show a control or bid 4NT, Blackwood. |
In situations not covered here, bidding is typically natural, but the details vary according to partnership agreement.
