By the time Responder's second bid comes around you MAY have already agreed upon a trump suit. that really changes all ..
  • but there are other scenarios, and you should be clear on how to handle them
  • Responder's first priority is to agree on the trump suit (or no-trump) with this bid.
  • next priority is to rebid his own 6-card (or longer) suit.
  • next priority is to try No trump.A NT bid guarantees a stopper in the fourth suit.
  • last resort is to bid the fourth suit.

    • Exercise 40043 Partner does not have 3 ♥s but may have 2.Partner does not have 6 ♠s.
