BBO forum,

This is probably a much discussed problem here.

With me as north, the bidding starts:

N E S W
1D P 1H P
?

North holds 3H and 12-14 HCP.

My partner(S) only wants support for the major if I hold 4 cards.
I think distribution may play a part in my rebid.

With 3,3,4,3 I would bid 1NT
With 2,3,4,4 I would bid 2H

I know there are a lot of other distributions that would
affect my response.

How do you handle this situation?

Jerry D.

I rebid 1 NT with all

5332 and 3 card support.

I raise with 3 card when I have singleton or void and 11-14 hcp.

Hi jerdonald,

As MrAce said, you need more shape to raise partner's one level major suit response to the 2 level with only 3 cards. Doubletons are unfortunately that: doubletons.

With A Qxx Qxxxx KJxx

After 1 - pass - 1 - pass -

I'd rather bid 2 than 2. 2 is far more constructive I feel.
