REBIDS BY THIRD OR FOURTH SEAT OPENER
After a New Suit Response
Opener can pass a response in a new suit, except for a 1D response
to a 1C, which is forcing. He will not pass with a singleton in
responder's suit, so a rebid does not promise a full opening bid.
After a 1H response to 1C or 1D, opener may sometimes rebid 1S with
a doubleton heart, even when the opening was a little light.
With a full opening and a convenient rebid, it is usually better
not to pass partner's response, even when game is unlikely. After
opening 1C with S-754 H-AQ6 D-K103 C-A1084 in third seat, go ahead
and rebid 1NT if partner says 1S. This does not show extra values.
After a 1H response you would pass, since you have heart support
and game is unlikely. With a fourth heart you would raise 1H to
2H, not so much with the thought of game as to shut out the
opponents. A raise is encouraging, however, so you need some excuse
for the raise: extra strength, four trumps, or ruffing values.
Opener should usually rebid with a 14 HCP hand, both to shut out
the opponents and to keep the lines open to a possible game. A
14 HCP hand is sometimes passed, however. After opening 1S with
S-KQJ5 H-862 D-AJ6 C-QJ2, you can pass any two-over-one response
because game is unlikely.
It follows that any raise of a two-over-one response by a passed
hand definitely shows extra values, and the rebid of 2NT is seldom
shaded.
After a 2NT Response
See SPLINTER REBIDS BY OPENER, and chapter STOPLIGHT in the book
"Marvin's Conventions and Treatments." If not playing Stoplight,
opener's simple rebid of the same suit is a sign-off, but a new
suit is forcing.
