MISCELLANEOUS BIDDING SEQUENCES
1H P 1S P
1NT 2H A natural bid. Must have a good hand, since
this is not a reopening situation.
1H P 1NT 2H Top-and-bottom cue bid; Michaels, by a passed
hand
1H P 1S P
1NT P P 2H/2S are both natural, may not be strong.
1C 1D 1H 2C Natural bid, good club suit
1C 1D 1H 2H Strong diamond raise
1S P P 2C
P 2S Competitive cue bid (see that chapter) The
spade bid must be repeated to be natural.
1H Dbl P 3D
P 3H Asks for a partial heart stopper, a competitive
cue bid. With a solid diamond suit the diamond
bidder can chance a 3NT bid without the partial
heart stopper--partner won't dare pass without
a sure heart stopper himself. Of course the cue
bidder may have a heart void and no interest
in notrump. If so, he will make this clear on
the next round.
1H Dbl P 1S
P 2C P 2H Competitive cue bid
1H Dbl 1S 2H Natural bid, long hearts
1H Dbl P 1S
2S Probably 0-5-4-4, may not have a lot in high
cards. With a good hand, or 4-4-4-1 distribu-
tion, a takeout double would be usual. Might
have a huge two-suited hand.
1H Dbl Rdbl 1S
P P 2S Normal slam try cue bid, not a competitive cue
bid. Opener bids notrump if his spade strength
was needed for the opening bid, to warn of
possible duplication.
1S 2D P 3S Demands that partner bid 3NT if with a spade
stopper, unless she has a most unusual hand.
This is a very strong call, showing something
like S-65 H-AK7 D-Q8432 C-AK2.
1C 1S P 3C Splinter bid in support of spades, strong
(because the overcall was in a major suit).
1S 2H 3H P
3NT Implies that opener would not have opened if
it were not for her heart strength. Warns of
duplication, in case the cue bidder has a void.
Opener may even have an unbalanced hand
with five or six spades. With an opening bid
outside the heart suit, opener should not bid
3NT, even with KQJ of hearts.
1S 3C P 3S Asks for a partial spade stopper, in accordance
with the principles of competitive cue bids at
the three level (only one opponent has bid the
suit). A strong jump overcall in a minor tends
to show a solid suit or equivalent, so the 3C
bidder needs a potential double stopper (e.g.,
A10x, K10x) to bid 3NT if his suit is not
solid.
