ONE OFF
When I take a 50-50 chance, I expect it to come off 8 times out of 10 (Hideous Hog)
1♣ -
1♦ = 4♥, 0+, can hold longer m ➲
1♥ = 4♠, 0+, can hold longer m ➲
1♠ = 7-11 balanced, or 5+♣, 7-13, or 5+♦ GF, can hold 5♦4M ➲
1NT = GF, balanced, or 5+♣, can hold 5♣4M ➲
⚠️2♣ = 5+♦, weak or invitational, OP must accept the transfer or bid 2M/NT. ➲
2♦/M = 6+ card ♦/M, very weak, natural continuation, penalty doubles
2NT = 12-13, balanced, no 4 card M
3♣ = preemptive, 6+♣, OP with 17-19 has to pass
3NT = 14-16, promising both M ST, if stronger or without both M ST, then over 1NT
