It is also one of the most imprecise: by saying <strong>1&#x2660;<\/strong>, the opener may have anywhere from <strong>12 to 19 points<\/strong>, and their distribution varies from a modest <strong>4-3-3-3<\/strong> to huge two-suited hands. It is therefore essential to precisely determine the meaning of the bids that will follow. The purpose of this first article is to explain the responder&#8217;s actions when they have an insufficient hand to force to game opposite a minimum opening bid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As responder, bidding with a weak or average hand is by no means synonymous with stopping. Indeed, if the opener has a really strong hand, nothing will prevent them from bidding again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, the responder has many options. They can support the opener in one of their two suits with a fit of at least four cards. They can also repeat their own suit or bid NT. And finally, unlike the popular belief that the <strong>1&#x2660;<\/strong> bid is forcing, they can also <strong>pass<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer

suits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The status of the opener&#8217;s two suits is completely different. Of course, showing the <strong>spade<\/strong> fit is a priority. The value of direct raises <strong>(2&#x2660;, 3&#x2660; or 4&#x2660;)<\/strong> is the same as supporting the <strong>1&#x2660;<\/strong> opening. <strong>2&#x2660;<\/strong> shows <strong>6 to 10 <\/strong>total points and <strong>3&#x2660;<\/strong> shows <strong>11 or 12 <\/strong>total points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When determining the strength of your support, remember that you only have <strong>eight trumps<\/strong> in the suit, not nine. This should encourage you to be cautious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Few intermediates, minimum distribution, scattered honours: you won&#8217;t win the game opposite the opener&#8217;s banal hand. Settle for <strong>2&#x2660;<\/strong>. If East has an unbalanced maximum hand, they will rebid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, neither <strong>2&#x2660;<\/strong> nor<strong> 3&#x2660;<\/strong> are forcing. And in particular, the <strong>3&#x2660;<\/strong> raise is not &#8220;stronger than 4&#8221;. Confusion is common with the <strong>1&#x2660;-2<span style=\"color: #249e22;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2663;<\/span>-2<span style=\"color: #f80000;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2665;<\/span>-3&#x2660;<\/strong> sequence, where the 3&#x2660; bid indicates slam ambitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, the non-forcing nature of <strong>3&#x2660;<\/strong> in the sequence we are discussing comes from the fact that the initial change of suit by the responder was made at the <strong>1-level<\/strong>. To make the sequence forcing, the responder must go through the <strong>fourth suit <\/strong>before supporting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over these two support bids, the opener can of course pass or sign off in game. If they want to know more, they can make a new bid, still with a natural connotation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-759cdc8\" data-block-id=\"759cdc8\"><style>.stk-759cdc8 .stk--block-align-759cdc8{align-items:center !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk--block-align-759cdc8 stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-759cdc8-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-7f7f724\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"7f7f724\"><style>@media screen and (min-width:690px){.stk-7f7f724 {flex:var(--stk-flex-grow, 1) 1 calc(60% - var(--stk-column-gap, 0px) * 1 \/ 2 ) !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-7f7f724-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-7f7f724-inner-blocks\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"376\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diagram_EN-15-1024x376.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-125568\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diagram_EN-15-1024x376.png 1024w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diagram_EN-15-300x110.png 300w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diagram_EN-15-768x282.png 768w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diagram_EN-15.png 1160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-491d54d\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"491d54d\"><style>@media screen and (min-width:690px){.stk-491d54d {flex:var(--stk-flex-grow, 1) 1 calc(40% - var(--stk-column-gap, 0px) * 1 \/ 2 ) !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-491d54d-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-491d54d-inner-blocks\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"686\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bids_EN-20.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-125569\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bids_EN-20.png 1000w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bids_EN-20-300x206.png 300w, https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bids_EN-20-768x527.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the opener has received a <strong>2&#x2660; <\/strong>raise, their hand is pleasant but doesn&#8217;t allow them to sign off. <strong>3<strong><span style=\"color: #f80000;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">&#x2665;<\/span><\/strong><\/strong> indicates a natural side suit and, consequently, a short suit in <strong>diamonds<\/strong>, which allows West to judge the usefulness of these points.
