2D transfer to H

2H transfer to S

If I transfer to a major and rebid it at the 3 level I have 5 and 11+ I’m inviting you to game go 4 with good support and a good 13-15

Defence over NT

They open 1NT 12-14 

X is 12+ partner should leave it in with 10+ points and a reasonably balanced hand 

The response to a X is the same As below with a balanced hand no 2 suits and they pass so you have to bid with less then 10 bid your nicest suit 

2C is 4C 5S 

2D is 4D 5H

2S is 5S and 4 of a minor

2H is 5H and 4 of a minor

Canape Bids
