0-2 ♠, not necessarily balanced hand.
With ♥: 2♣ Checkback-like

2♥: weak, 3♥: game try
With ♠: 2♦:
sign-off (in ♦),
2♠: 6+ (very good 5), game try,
2N: game try 4-5 ♠, 3m: game try 5m-4+
♠, 3♠: good 6+ suit
|
| - 2♣: | 54+ minors (no 3-card
♠). Now 2♥ (5+) and
2♠ (6+) game try! (with weak hand 2M must be bid immediately)
|

♠). Now 2♥ (5+) and
2♠ (6+) are game try! (with weak hand 2M must be bid immediately)

5♦-4+ ♥, sign-off,
or 4+ ♥, game try (but not with 4♥-5x)
Opener bids 2♥ with 4-card ♥
(CSLT on this),
otherwise 2♦.
(with a very strong hand you may bid 3♥, which is 3-4-5-1).
|
| - 2♦: |
4+ ♠, game try (with
4♥-4♠ bid 2♣
instead, this one shows longer ♠ or perhaps 5-5 majors) |
| - 2♥: | 4♠,
4+ ♥, slightly below game try (8-10). Opener chooses, with a giant hand he may raise or jump. |
| - 2♠: | 4+ ♠,
below imvitational, but not hopeless hand (~ 8-10) |

4333, 4432, 5332, and NT-ish 5m422 shapes.
|
| - 2♣: |
5-card ♣, or 3-suiter hand with short ♥.
On 2♦ relay:
- 2♥: 5♣-4M. Now both 2♠
and 2N are relay, on these S12 = 4-card ♥, S34
= 4-card ♠, singletons are first.
- 2♠: 3-suiter hand with short ♥.
Now: 2N: relay (3m: 5m-440, 3♥ = 4441),
any suit bid: OCYS
- 2N...3N: 5+ ♣ and 4+ ♦
following the full scheme
(5-5, 5-4). |
| - 2♦: |
4-card ♥, specifically ♦+ ♥
or 3-suiter hand with 4-card ♥. On a relay:
- 2♠: 3-suiter. Same continuation as 3-suiter hands
after
1♣-1M
- 2N...3N: ♦+ ♥ folowing
the
full scheme |
| - 2♥: |
4-card ♠, specifically ♦+ ♠.
On 2♠ relay according to the full,
on 2N relay acc. to the compact two-suiter scheme. |
| - 2♠: |
One-suiter ♦. The usual method on a relay. |
| - 2N...3N: |
5+ ♦ and 4+ ♣
following the full scheme (6-4, 5-4). |
| - 2♣: |
relay, as on mini NT.
You should bid this if you want to learn opener's shape (mainly slam going hands
without a sortness) and lack of better with a 4-card major.
Later you may deviate with some hands containing shortness, but in a different way
as after mini NT. This is due to the fact that you can hardly have 5-card major
with a shortness after the relay, because you can start with 2M with those hands.
The differences:
- on ...-2♠ (44+ minors):
3♦♥♠:
4+ ♦, short ♣/♥/♠
- on ...-2N (5♣-332):
3♦♥♠:
sets ♣ as trump, short ♦/♥/♠
- on ...-3♣ (4m333): 3M: singleton
- on ...-2M-1 (4-card M): 2N = 5m-4oM (S1 asks the 5-card suit and the shortness), 3m = 6m-4oM (S1 asks the short suit).
|
| - 2♦: |
6+ ♦ or 5♦4+♣.
2♥: 2♠ = 55+ minors,
2N...3♠: as immediate bids with ♣
|
| - 2♥♠: |
NAT 5+ (other major is not 4-carder). Opener shows his support: S1 = 2, S2 = 3, S3 = 4.
- plain suit bid: NAT, 4+ suit on S1, SPL on L23
- jump shift on S1: 6+ M, SPL
- 3N: can be passed, choice of games (on S3 too?)
- 3M: 6+M, has a void, bids it on S1. This is an ORKC
|
| - 2N: |
6+ ♣, has a singleton (bids it on 3♣) |
| - 3♣...3♠: |
2-suiter according to the ♣♦
compact 2-suiter scheme (3♠ is slam try) |
| Usual double of the GF relay thing is not applied here,
because it would wrong-side NT, but: |
| - pass: |
balanced hand, without a spade stopper. XX: would like to play,
1N: relay, usual scheme, (2♣ = 5♦-332),
It does not matter whether Responder have a stopper or not, either he can play NT or nobody,
he will know. His later spade bids look for a half-stopper.
2x natural, has a singleton, like 2M without the intervention.
|
| - 1N: |
balanced hand with spade stopper, scheme is on
|
| - XX: |
unbalanced hand spade stoppersal. Erre 1N relay, él a scheme
|
| - 2♣...3N: |
unbalanced hand without a spade stopper, as without the double |
