Major Suit Openings finally Introduces the Actual 2/1 Game Force Convention. Notice that it ONLY applies when Opener is in the 1st and 2nd seat since a Passed hand cannot force to game. The most Significant differences with Standard American is the forcing 1NT reponse to a Major with its 5 - 13 hcp range and the fact that 2/1 is a Game force when Opener is in 1st and 2nd Seat. This Bidding Summary includes several other Conventions including Bergen Raises, Jacoby Raise, Splinters and Drury.

The Roman Key Card Bids decribed here are with "14/30" ANSWERS. Bridge Clinic recommends that the same ANSWERING STRUCTURE be used at all times and selects the 14/30 structure to allow for a Queen Ask to be Answered below 5 when "fishing" for the Q to get to 6.
