Response to a level 3 preemptive opening bid.

Response to a preemptive opening bid
The opener has said everything : a 7 carder, a maximum of 10HCP....and nothing else. He is promising 6 tricks.
You are the one to decide what is happening next and which contract would be best for your pair.

Any shift is forcing, except if it is at game level.
Any support bid is a prolongation of the preempt, not a game proposal; the opener shall pass.
With no stopper in the other suits and less than 13-14HCP, PASS

S	W	N	E

Exercise E1612 PASS : no stoppers and no support.

S	W	N	E

Exercise E1616 You must name such a nice major suit. You'd rather try 4♥ than 5♣. Your bid is forcing...your partner will tell you if he's got 2 ♥ cards.

After a 3♣ or a 3♦ opening bid, you should bid :

3NT with 13-14HCP and stoppers in the other suits
With a 2 to 3 support cards and about 10HCP, raise to level 4 (this is not a game proposal)
Go to game (level 5) with a 4 card support and 3 tricks
With a strong hand but no NT possible bid, name a new suit
