Pass = In second chair, we would open this
hand 3¨ at favorable vulnerability only.
1© = 5+ suit, 11-15 hcp in Precision.
Dbl = Slightly too strong for an initial
overcall of 2§.
2¨ = 4+ suit, 4-8 hcp. The 7-card suit makes up for the missing hcp strength.
3§ = 5+ suit, no ¨-support, 16-17 hcp. With 18-19 hcp, we would bid game, or cuebid the
major we have not stopped.
Dbl = Competitive,
inviting to 4ª. A call of 3ª would just fight for partscore.
