Bridge Tip of the Month

Bridge Etiquette: "One No Trump" and Responses

When your partner opens "One No Trump", or "Two No Trumps" you MUST tell the opponents the HCP range of the bid.

 

Don’t say "Weak" nor say "Strong" as there are different numbers around (13-15 for instance) 

You don’t need to announce an overcall of 1NT

***

If partner bids Stayman 2♣  over 1NT or Stayman 3♣  over 2NT you announce "Stayman"

If partner makes a transfer bid (2 to 2 or  2  to 2♠  or 2♠  for a minor) you can say:

"Transfer to …" or you may just say the suit

***

So: 1NT, 2H 

Say "Transfer to Spades"

or just

"Spades"
