1 = Inverted minor raise, 5+ support, less than 9 good hcp. East is too weak
to respond 1ª.
2 = Still hoping to find a ©-fit. No way West can pass with these 18 hcp.
3 = Signoff.
Partnerships playing standard raises, clearly have an edge here. They can stop at the
makable 3-level.
More discussion to follow.

1 = Bergen raise: 4+ support, balanced, 10-11 hcp.
2 = 1st or 2nd round control of ª.
3 = 1st or 2nd round control of §, denies 1st or 2nd round control of §.
4 = Listen to the bidding, and forget about slam! West does not
have §-control, so North may very well need to have §A for the slam. Look at the score
sheet: 4©+1, the normal result, still pays 57%, and 4©+2, if NS allow East to endplay
either one of them, gives EW a 93% score!
