it take some time to adjust tool to defend oponet biding as far as I can remeber from TEXT book you have 2 tool to defend at level 1 the take out double and the overcall when i began to play bridge 40 year ago nobody was opening a weak 2 and 2 opening was strong Acol type or very strong Goren type i found the book terorist moscito on the internet more then 10 year ago there is very good chapter on defnsive biding ; the basis for defending at the 2 level is: Defending at the 2-level The general idea throughout this section is that double shows general values, with defence including at least a doubleton in the opponents’ suit or suits— a sort of Weiss Double. Over- calling 2 N usually shows a long minor, and cheap minor-suit • Over 2 M : 3m= m+ M ; 3 M = Strong hand with oM ; 4m= fg with 5 oM +m; 4 M = strong with m’s. • Over 2♦: 3♣= weaker t/o; 3♦= strong t/o, spl ♦; 4♣= M +♣’s, limited; 4♦= M ’s limited. --------- its just a little more then what i knew about defensive biding ------- in the book Mutos ther are also diferent bid for the defence the laurel and hardy look good on paper can be a nightmare in real situation for defending on the 2 level he propose 3 option 1 Double with a 1 suiter ( PARTNER SHOW POINT BY STEP ) 2 use laurel and hardy with 2 suit (BIDING THE SUIT YOU DONT WANT TO PLAY) 3 bid 2NT with 13-15 HCP AND BALANCED HAND !

Over- calling 2 N usually shows a long minor, and cheap minor-suit • Over 2 M : 3m= m+ other Major ; 3 M = Strong hand with other Major ; 4m= FORCING TO GAME with 5 other Major +m; 4 M = strong with minor’s. What do you bid ? Michel

2 suit gadget ? Michael cue ? leaping Michael ? unusual 2NT ? michel

opening bid point ranges: 0-7 8-12 13+ 28.58 44.63 27.79 if the Forcing pass is 13+ you pass 27 % of time make a limited opening 45 % of time and a weak opening 28% of time some at level 1 other at level 2 and 3 and this is just the opopsit of sound biding !!! Michel

opening bid point ranges: 0-9 10-14 15+ 46.83 38.98 14.19 now you need to adjustthe other factor of the opening in a forcing pass system not alowed by ACBL regulation when pass is 15+ HCP you pass only 14% of time 86% you open with a very weak opening or limited opening 38%

opening bid point ranges: 0-10 11-15 16+ 56.24 34.00 9.76

the percentage of opening a bid is directly to the point range of the opening HCP in NORMAL system you pass 70% of the time no idea how it will show but i will copy 1 table per answer opening bid point ranges: 0-12 13-20 21+ 73.21 25.99 0.80

if they play Spade South is leading !!!!

my first reaction is i am going to sleep PASS minimum opening as far as i remember Spounic is a negative double showing exatly 4 cards ♥ with 7-11 HCP the long spade sit after me overcall is normaly a 5+ card suit with 1+ top honor and maybe some other honor the ( preemtive / inviting) raise is with 4 +♠ so partner is likly to be 1=4=4=4 or 0=4=4=5 i inssit on 4 cards ♦ cause with 5 he should support so a reasonabel contract in ♦ but to lazy to imagine a hand that make 9 trick in a ♦ contract

an ekren opening !!!!! south open 2♥ showing 4+♥ and 4+♠ less then NORMAL opening point count the original is 5- 10 point but 0-8 can do 2 you corect to 2 ♠ and east have nothing to say!!!

seeing again the biding a weak 2♦ in third chair or 1♠ or 1 ♦ BEFORE 4 chair open

3♦ showing 5+♦ and 4+♠ 5-6 loser i think there are more loser..

now North have to decide wich slam to play 6 ♦ / 6 ♠ or 6 NT / if spade and diamond break normaly / (3-2 ) / 4 ♦ //trick / 5 S♠ /trick / 2 club ♣ /trick / 2 heart ♥ /trick / total 13 trick but the ACE of diamonds ♦ / is mising / can not do 12 trick w/o giving the Ace of ♦ /

Ekren a weak 2 opening from the cold country of north Europe i think the original have 5-10 point and the bid was 2♦ 4+♥and 4+♠ the SPREAD version is even more weak 4+ ♥ and 4+ ♠ 0-7(8) HCP 8 is for balanced hand with more point you open 1♣ bad example [hv=pc=n&s=st98762hkqj4dj72c&w=sq3hat752d86cajt9&n=saj54h3dqt3ck5432&e=skh986dak954cq876&d=s&v=0&b=11&a=2h(ekren)p2sp]399|300[/hv] south open with 2♥ west pass north don't like ♥ and corect to 2♠ East pass east lead A of ♦ and K of ♦ and give his partner a ♦ ruff West ruff and cash the Ace of♥ 2 ♠ +1 made

SOMONE MAKE A GAMBLING 3NT I have ♣ Jxx ♦ Jxx you know he is misiing the J do he have ♣ or♦ ?

memory isn't too good but i found the hand SOMEWHERE IN THE JUNK FILE ON MY PC / ♠ K T 9 ♥ J T 543 ♦ K J T ♣ AK 3=5=3=2 TOTAL 13 CARD SORRY! <_<

the extrem in weak 2 opening are Ekren 0-5 HCP 4+♥ AND 4+♠ EVEN A 4=4=3=2 THE ORIGINAL IS OPENED WITH 2♦ OR OPENING 2♠ 0-5 HCP 5+♠ 0-3 ♥ 0-5 m part of some strong club system have udiciplend 2 level weak opening from 2♣ to 2♠ so you can open with 5m and 4M normaly in first or second chair rarely at third chair Never in 4 chair

adding the link http://users.abo.fi/jboling/bridge/joppent.pdf the link in my post is to the original in finish and it don't work

Stayman is an exelent tool for asking partner on major holding Pupet stayman is an intersting try to improve stayman jacoby transfer add another dimension to the biding Joppe combine all of then and more slated by Jari Böling, finnish 2♣ ask 2♦ no Major 2♥ 4/5 cards,♥ does not deny ♠ 2♠ 4/5 ♠ after the 2 ♦ response 2♥ Majors at least 4-4, pass or correct 2♠ ask and game forcing 2NT inviting 3 NT 3x game forcing with 5(6) cards 3 NT to play 2♦ is transfer to ♥ 2♥ is transfer to ♠ 2♠ transfer to ♣ after a transfer you can pass bid game or invite slam there is more to it the Url of the document is posed above Michel

there is a diferent school for using 2nt as defensive bid on level 1 2nt show : (1 x )2 N 5-5 in any 2 unbid suits, ≤4 1/2 losers. 4.5 loser or less make it 5 for starting point. it leave us with 8 winner 2-3 trick from partner and game is cold nothing 1 down advancing is "simple" on weak 2 opening its an over call of a minor or a strong major T/O with a 4M and 6m i prefer a canape overcall bid the Major first and maybe the minor later like 1 ♦ 1♥ X (negative double ) pass 1 ♠ (or 1NT or 2 diamond ) 3♣ if partner support the MAjor the minor is irelevant

SLAM are hard to bid and whemn you bid they may be wrong sided i think yesterday playing A "primitive acol " with a random partner I open 1 Spade with a 6=2=4=1 distribution WITH SOMTHING LIKE ♠ AkQ xxx ♥ A Q ♦ A xxx ♣ K PARTNER ANSWER 3♣ I SUSPECT IT IS WEAK SO BID 3♦ PARTNER BID 4 ♣ REALIZING THAT 3♣ IS WEAK I BID 4 NT THAT I THINK HE WILL TAKE AS A NORMAL B/W AND I SEND HIM TO PLAY 6♣ AND HE MADE IT HE HAD ♠X ♥J xxx ♦x ♣A Q xxx xx it was pure lack to ask no sofisticated auction ..
