ONE OFF

When I take a 50-50 chance, I expect it to come off  8 times out of 10 (Hideous Hog)

Gazzilli in combination with Kaplan Inversion


Conventional 2♣ bid by OP after 1♠-1NT  and 1-1♠ shows natural bid or balanced hand 14-19 or any strong hand 17+, except 64x, 17+ for which the bidding goes 1-1NT-2NT


1 - 1♠    =    0 – 4 , 6-11

1 - 1NT    =    5+ , 6+ HCP

1♠ - 1NT    =    6-11



After showing 55+,14-16:

3 in OP's M    =    SO

all bids 3NT and above = SO

4m in OP's m shows fit, GF 


If 2 ♣ (Gazzilli) is doubled:

pass    =    5+♣

2    =    5+, 5-7

rdbl    =    9+

later doubles are for T/O


If 2 ♣ (Gazzilli) is overcalled:

dbl    =     9+, if OP can still bid 2M, else 11+

later doubles are for T/O
