Minor Suit Namyats
Rating: 2 boards per segment/round
Our opening 4 NTbid shows a
strong opening of 5 in a minor. The bid is forcing and is used in
conjunction with natural 5 of a minor preempts, which show lesser hands.
Recommended possible, direct defensive
actions include the following
:
X - Major suit
takeout
5 of a suit- Natural
5Nt - Slam worthy two
suiter
Recommended possible delayed defensive
actions include the following
:
X – Three suit
takeout
5 of a suit – Two suit takeout
including a minor
5Nt- Slam worthy two suiter
including a minor
All initial actions, except
natural overcalls, suggest enough defensive strength to defeat a five
level contract and create a forcing auction. Subsequent suit bids are
natural and forcing; subsequent doubles are penalty; and Q-bids promise
controls. Where an initial bid shows an indeterminate two suiter,
subsequent bids are pass or correct.
