johnu Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Apparently 2♠ (4-20 points) is stronger than 3♠ (<20 points). I don't know why 2♠ shows any points at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerE Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 I don't know why 2♠ shows any points at all. Because it's a freebid. After opener's double, can float back to P to let them XX with a true bust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a clear preference for spades over the minors, just bid 2♠ to let partner know you prefer spades. Partner is not going to play you for anything except for spades.
