Defences to pre-empts

3X/4X : cue-bid, jump to 4NT, cue-bid at five-level, jump to 5NT...

 

I'm sure there is a standard way to play all of these, but we don't have a solid agreement yet.

 

Although it's just a matter of preference, I'd like defences that don't include NLM (as I'm a big believer in being able to overcall naturally at the lowest level) but I may yet become a convert!

 

This is what we currently play. Very simple. Looking for other ideas! Perhaps something to show specific suits.

(3): 4 = Michaels, 5/5m

4NT = minors, wide range

 

(3): 4 = Michaels, 5/5m, very strong hand. Responses: 4NT asks minor or to play 5, 5m to play, 5 slam try

4NT = minors, wide range

 

(4m): 4NT = "unusual", 5/5om, very strong hand.

5m = "Michaels", 5/5 majors, very strong hand.

 

(4M): 4NT = minors, wide range

5M = "Michaels", 5/5, very strong hand.

5NT = pick a slam, any two-suiter

 

We mainly play this because it's an agreement that's easy to remember for a rare situation.
