Opening bid of 1 of a suit, followed by a Jump Shift in another suit
| Response | Opener's rebids |
|---|---|
| Jump Shift (e.g. 1H to 2S, 1S to 3H) 15+ HCP with a 5 card suit 13/14+ with a 6 card suit Game Forcing | 2NT 15 - 16 balanced 3NT 17 - 18 balanced Raise partner's suit to confirm trumps Rebid own suit with length and no additional features Bid new suit at lowest level Jump in original suit (6 card suit with top 4 honours or 7 card suit with top 3 honours) |
| Double or Treble Jump (e.g. 1H to 3S, 1S to 4H) 7 card suit in a weak hand, not forcing | Pass or raise partner's suit |
Responder should re-bid constructively & economically. Partner will not stop bidding below game level so there is no need to jump again.
Any game bid you make may be passed, so if you are interested in a slam do not make a game bid (e.g. 3NT, 4H, 4S).
