Support for the opening minor
Support
The responder can support their partner with 5 cards in the suit and at least 5 HCP. A responder who supports the opening minor denies having 4 cards in a major and has an unbalanced hand: with a balanced hand, the 1NT bid is preferable. Use HCP to evaluate your hand because game will more often be played in NT than in the minor...

- Simple support with less than 9 HCP
- Jump support with 9-10-11 HCP. This is an encouraging bid for a NT contract.
