Back to the summary
After a strong 2 suiter bid by Opener.
a strong 2 suiter bid by opener is round and shows hand values of 18HCP. Bids by responder are forcing to game... EXCEPT :
  • 'Scrambling' 2 NT that indicates 5-7HCP and a desire to stop before game.
  • Repetition of Responder's first suit which shows at least 5 cards
These two bids are still forcing for 1 round sand enable the opener to describe better the strength of his strong two suiter.
Caution ! Any other bid by responder is forcing to game.
