- I suggest;
- a) You start playing something sensible after 1MAJ-2NT so that you can find out
- about the king of clubs even below 4S. This is very simple.
-
- b) If you know partner lacks 4-card support when s/he does not respond 2NT you
- are much better of in ALL constructive auctions.

- Why? Describe the problems of bidding 2NT for me. Show me some examples where
- a 2/1 response works better.
