1 = Bergen raise, 4+ ©-support, tending to be balanced, 7-9 hcp. The extra
trump is worth an extra hcp.

1 = Weak jump overcall: vulnerable a good 6- or moderate
7-card suit, 5-10 hcp.
2 = Negative double, promising 4-card ©-suit, 12+
hcp, or both.
3 = Semi-preemptive, for East could be stronger as well. From
East, game looks cold for NS, and they may well have slam.
4 = It would be awfully chicken to pass with this hand. Double looks not profitable
either. East will be happy to even cash out all of his aces against 4ª.
