3 lip 2023 · These are powerful competitive bidding tools because they allow us to take away some of the opponents’ valuable bidding space, preempt the auction, and show partner both of our two 5+card suits with one call. Let’s see how to make use of this convention to show our 2-suited overcalls.
There are many systems the opponents play in order to interfere over our 1NT opening bid, but almost all of these systems use the 3-level (actually 2NT+) for the same meanings – 2NT as a weak bid showing both minors and 3-level bids as weak with a long suit, preemptive.

At this point, we can bid 2♠ to show an invitational hand with 5-card ♠ and 4+card ♥. This is a valuable auction that allows Responder to invite game but stop at the 2-level if Opener has a minimum hand, even with only 2-card ♠ support. A 2♠ contract usually plays better than 2NT in this situation.
Adventures in Bridge, Inc. www.advinbridge.com TWiB (75) Captaincy 3 Example #1 A great example of shared captaincy vs. “taking control” is in a slam bidding auction. Making a cuebid (control-showing cuebid) is an effort to share information with partner and make a cooperative decision.
Level 3 When we have found a fit and the opponents compete in the bidding in the suit just below our suit, then there is no room left to make a game try. In this case we need to be creative about how we compete in the bidding. Example 1♠ P 2♠ 3 __? In this case, a bid of 3♠ is still strictly competitive – not inviting partner to bid again.
