2= Opening

2= opening shows balanced 18-19 without a 5cd Major, typically

equivalent of 1m-1x//2NT in standart bidding. The response structure tries hard
to make the strong hand become the declarer. These are the responses in
tabular form:

2= ?

Pass :To play

2- :P2] w/5+] OR any GF 4-4-4-1
2] :P2NT en route to 2NT or 3NT, OR 5+-
2NT :[-onesuiter, weak or GF, OR GF with both minors
3[ :=-onesuiter, GF
3= :P3-, --onesuiter, weak or GF
3- :5-5+ Majors, GI
3] :5-5+ Majors, GF (] never longer than -), 4[L/4=H applies
4[ :Gerber
4= :Texas
4- :Texas

After 2- Response
2= 2-
2] Pass :To play
2NT :P3[, R will show some GF 4-4-4-1
3[ :5+]+4+some minor, GF
3= :4+-, ] always longer than -
3- :S1F, 6+], ST (Over 3]:3NT=I have a short suit, 4x=control-bid)
3] :Analogous to 2NT-3-//3]-3NT in standart bidding (but unlimited)
4m :4]+6+m, ST

2= 2-
2] 2NT
3[ 3= :1=4=4=4
3- :4=1=4=4
3] :4=4=1=4
3NT :4=4=4=1, in all cases 4[/4=/RKC/size-ask applies.

2= 2-
2] 3[
3= 3- :side-[
3] :side-=, in both cases 4[L/4=H applies.
4m :6+]+4m, ST. Now O’s 4- = LTTC/], 4NT = 6RKC/(],m)
After 2] Response
2= 2]
2NT Pass :To play
3[ :5+-+4+some minor, GF
3= :Stayman (now O’s 3M shows 4 while 3NT denies 4M)
3- :5+-+4]
3] :Analogous to 2NT-3=//3--3NT in standart bidding (but unlimited)
3NT :To play
4m :4-+6+m, ST

After 2NT Response

2= 2NT
3[ Pass :To play
3= :Minors, GF
3M :[-one-suiter, GF, M* short

After 3[ Response
2= 3[
3= 3M :=-one-suiter, GF, M* short

After 3= Response
2= 3=
3- Pass :To play
3] :S1F to show shortness/control-bid
