balanced hand, 12-15 hcp.

sequence, he should have a 16+ hand or excellent shape, especially at matchpoints in a
field that is unlikely to bid sharp slams.

Dbl = Too strong for an overcall of 2¨ in 2nd ánd 4th chair.
2© = 4+ suit, 0-10 hcp. The 1NT-response to the
takeout double shows a balanced hand, a ª-stopper
and 8-10 hcp. North can have as little as 9 hcp, so passing out for penalties is not an
option.
3¨ = 5+ suit, 16-17 hcp. With more, North
should hope to find South with at least 5 hcp, and take some forcing, like cuebidding 3ª to ask for ª-stopper.

1NT = One of several types of hands, 5-11 hcp, one round force. East denies
3-card ª-support, unless he has 10-11 hcp at
the same time.
Note: the bidding should go the same way in partnerships that play a natural system
without the forcing 1NT-response to openings in 1 of a major.

1ª = One round force, so East can save his
jump in NT for cases where he has a truly balanced hand.
1NT = After downgrading a little for the stiff ace-king, West is left with insufficient
strength for the fourth suit forcing. Many partnerships would not
use 4th suit at the 2-level with less than 12 hcp anyway.
