inv raise of overcall

[gnasher]

Over 2NT you have room for a dialogue rather than just answering "yes" or "no" to partner's 3♦ game try as you would playing transfers.

 

Playing transfers you get some of that back, because advancer can transfer to a minor and then bid 3♥, showing a 2-5 invitation.

Hi,

 

a possible option is also to play transferss, i.e. 3D as showing an inv. raise.

Transfers allow you to show help values on the side, which may be useful / harmful,

if you get to defend a spade contract.

 

With kind regards
