Dbl = Equivalent of standard 1NT-opening: balanced hand, 15-17 hcp.
2© = Natural, not having enough hcp strength to
allow the double to stand. All suit responses are natural, so East must bid his suits
up-the-line, and hope to find an 8-card fit.

1ª = West downgraded for his 4333-pattern,
and now has nothing left but to overcall on a 4-card suit.
2¨ = Natural: 4+ ¨-suit, 5-9 hcp.
3ª = Preemptive jump raise.
4¨ = Invite to 5¨, not an attempt to push EW into a game they don't
dare to bid by themselves.
