Hi all, Need a clairification on the interpretation of an Overcaller's Bid. Let's assume E-W play such that and Opening Bid of 2C is a strong hand (22+ pts) or 2H is played as a weak 2. Also assume that N deals and opens 1S. E (Responder) responds with 2C or 2H. Should E's bid be interpreted as strong/weak or as a "natural" bid. I recognize if one is playing at the table, that one may ask (in this case S may ask W what it means) but is there a general rule or interpretation? Thanks!

Playing Yellow Card Opening bid of 1S (13-21) No interference Responder with 10-11 total points Can responder bid new suit at 2 level with 4 cards in suit - either minor or H? Does interference (intervening bid) matter? Thanks!

I played against opps in the following scenario with NS opps. N - Pass, E - 1H, S - 2C, PPP Normally 2C would be interpreted as strong: 22+ pts. I asked N what the bid meant to confirm but he said it was Natural. In most cases, getting a strong 2 Club hand after Opps opens is unlikely due to total points involved. It would be more probable that a natural 2C bid would be possible. In the situation where 2Clubs are bid after Opps opened, and you're playing 2Clubs as strong, is there an exception after Opps opens, like the above example, where 2Clubs is bid, if appropriate, as natural? S would have likely opened 1C, if N had not opened. Thanks!
