Exercise E5331 Pass : Your partner has less than 8HCP....No game in sight.
Your partner bid a suit without a jump: He has less than 8HCP
- from 12 to 14-15HCP : pass ; the camp does not have enough values to bid game
- With a fit and 16 à 17HCP : Show support at minimum level : If your partner is"maximum" a game may still be on
- Without fit and 18-19 HCP : 1 SA is not minimum,, a game is possible
- Without fit and 20-21 HCP : 2 SA All it takes is 4 points for partner and game may be on
- Starting from 18HCP, without fit, you could bid a new suit (with at least 5 cards, in general...)
- In other cases, a cue-bid will show 18HCP...and no other bid possible !
- After a cue-bid (11H et plus)
