PREEMPTIVE NEW SUIT RESPONSES
Preemptive single jump takeouts are discussed in chapter WEAK JUMP
TAKEOUT RESPONSE in the book "Weak Bidding."
Higher preemptive responses in a new suit, which are at least
double jumps, show about six playing tricks at the three level,
seven at the four level, eight at the five level. They tend to deny
any defensive trick, although a jump to game in a major may include
the trump ace.
Most three-level double jump responses can be made by a passed hand
only, since an unpassed hand's 3D response to 1C is a strong club
raise (see THE FORCING CLUB RAISE), a 3H or 3S response to a minor
opening is a splinter bid (see SPLINTER RESPONSE TO A MINOR
OPENING, and a 3S response to 1H is a splinter bid (see SPLINTER
RESPONSE TO A MAJOR OPENING). There is one sequence when a
competitive double jump to the three level is natural, preemptive:
South West North
1C/1D 1H 3S - natural, not a splinter
Four-level preemptive takeouts can be made in any suit, but only
over a minor opening:
Opener Responder
1C 4D/4H/4S - preemptive
These bids show a weak one-suited hand with seven or eight playing
tricks. In response to a major opening such jumps are splinter
bids:
Opener Responder
1S 4C/4D/4H - splinter bid
In competition, jumps to four of a minor are also splinter bids,
not preempts:
South West North
1D 2H 4C - splinter bid
Five-level preemptive responses are made only in a minor, and are
very rare. Respond 5D to a 1C opening with S-3 H-6 D-KQ8765432
C-J3.
