Resmponder's 2nd bid after a strong 2♣ opening

Back to the summary
Responder's 2nd bid after a strong 2♣ opening.
After a 2 ♦ response, the olpener rebids :
  • With a nice ♥, a ♥ 2-suiter or a balanced hand 22-23HCP, the opener bids 2♥ 'Kokish relay'
  • With a balanced hand with 24+HCP, 2NT
  • With a one-suiter hand, he bids his suit ... (and has to bid 3♥ if his suit is ♥)


In all cases, the responder now has the info needed to set the level of the final contract:
  • A part-score, he passes. The 2♣ opening is only forcing for one round.
  • A game : All rebids by responder after 2 ♦ are forcing to game
  • Exploring a possible slam : a 3CO/♠ or 4TR/♦ is stronger than a straight game bid.
