− | + | I have 3-card support for partner's major → Raise to the 2 level if you can, otherwise pass. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | I have 5+ spades and can bid at the one-level → Respond 1♠. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | RHO bid a minor suit at the 2-level or lower and I have 4+ cards in the other major → Make a negative double to show your 4-card major. | |

− | + | I have support for partner's major and RHO doubled → Bid 2NT, which is the conventional Truscott/Jordan limit+ raise. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | RHO bid 1NT → Many partnerships don't have an agreement on how to respond in this case. The only "standard" response is double for penalty. If you actually want a way to have the contract in such cases, develop an agreement with your partner about the meanings of bids. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | RHO doubled and I have 5+ spades → Respond 1♠. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | RHO doubled and we don't have a fit in partner's major → Redouble. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | RHO bid a minor suit at the 3-level or lower and I have 4+ cards in the other major → Make a negative double. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | RHO bid a suit at the 2-level or lower in which I have a stopper → Respond 2NT. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | Otherwise → Pass. | |
