Bidding over partner 3 of a minor opening bid

[dickiegera]

What should one have to bid a new suit after partner opens 1st seat

3 of a minor.

 

And should it be forcing?

 

Thanks for any opinions

Any hand that is interested in game with 5+ in the suit shown.

 

It should be game forcing, possibly with the exception that 4m can be passed.

A new suit is forcing to game.

 

A gadget I like is that over 3♣ a bid of 3♦ initially asks for a three card major so that 3♥/♠ guarantees six.

 

In response to a three-level new suit it is fairly standard to require opener to rebid 3NT without support for responder's suit. This allows responder to explore for a fit without risking going past the most likely or at least the cheapest alternative game.

Of course you can also play transfers ;)

 

Edit: and reversed majors over 3D

The most common agreement, as I understand things, is that a new suit response to a n opening 3-bid is forcing 1 round. There are also some who play that a 3♦ response to a 3♣ opener asks for a 3-card major. And then there are transfer pre-empts a la Inquiry.
