In this lesson:
A 1-level response in a suit is not very descriptive. Responder is promising at least 4 cards in his suit with 6+ points.
A 1♥ response could be based on a very weak hand, such as:
♠86 ♥J753 ♦K72 ♣Q764
However, responder also might have a terrific hand, such as:
♠ (void) ♥AK9864 ♦KJ2 ♣AKJ4
Without question, the 1-level response is one of the most ambiguous bids in bridge. The opening bidder does not know much about his partner's hand. Therefore, at responder's second turn, he MUST make a descriptive bid. The bottom line here is:
After a 1-level response in a suit, responder's rebid is the key bid in the auction.
In this lesson, Marty will discuss:
- - How to deduce what opener holds.
- - How opener's first two bids affect the evaluation of your hand.
- - How to correctly resolve close decisions.
- - How to improve your bidding judgment.
- - What responder needs to reverse.
- - 4th Suit Forcing - the absolutely essential convention for all levels.
Here is an example of what Marty will present:
You hold: ♠6542 ♥KQJ1097 ♦Q7 ♣2
What should you rebid?
Bid 2♥.
It is WRONG to raise spades. This is NOT a good hand for a 4-4 fit. In a spade contract, the only way partner can win 5 heart tricks is if he can set up hearts, draw trump, AND get to your hand.
Unless opener has an exceptional hand, the likelihood of all of the above taking place is NOT good. In reality, 4-4 fits are NOT always the best place to play.
With hearts as trump, even a total novice could win 5 heart tricks. When you are blessed with a long solid major suit, do not even consider other contracts.
