ONE OFF

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

We overcall

suit openings on level 1 and 2



Level 1 overcall is lead directing, level 2 overcall shows constructive opening strength, except the sequence (1m) - 2♣, when also weak 5 card suit with 9 HC is enough.


FOL's bids are transfers, when she bids from cue to transfer to INT's suit. The exception is a level 3 cue, which allways asks for ST. Other bids are natural. 


Examples:

(1) - 1♠

our bids are natural, F1, cue bid shows support, 8+


(1♣) - 1♠

2♣// are transfers,




Following rules apply:

Bids of new suits are F1, NT bids are natural

Raises of INT's suit are competitive.

Jump shift shows 4 card fit and good 5 card suit 2T3H

Jump Cue bid shows 4 card fit, 9+ točk






If RE doubles, our RDBL promises A or K in INT' suit.

If RE bids naturally and we still have transfer available - system ON. 



Examples for (1) - 1♠ - ?


(DBL)

RDBL    =    A or K in ♠

other    =     system on


(2♣)

DBL    =    4 card , tolerance for ♠ 

2    =    transfer to

2    =    transfer to ♠, constructive

2♠    =    preemptive

other    =    natural, NF


(2)

DBL    =    transfer to  

2    =    transfer to ♠, constructive

2♠    =    preemptive

other    =    natural, NF



(2)

DBL    =    transfer to ♠, constructive

2♠    =   preemptive

other    =    natural, NF


Same applies for sequences (1x) - pass - (1/2y) - 2yz (both natural).


Examples for (1) - 1♠ - (1NT/2x) - ?


We assume the hand belongs to opps. Our bids are the same as above, except:


2    =    promises 3 card ♠ support with Q or better (does not promise points).
