What
is the best way to respond to a strong 2
?
Some
play responses showing controls, others in
my club (the best in Toronto) play a funny system
where 2
is a bust
hand, 2
shows an
ace or
king, etc. Some others play 2 negative
and all
other responses positive.
The
problem continues. How do you find a 4-4
major fit if the 2 opener
does not rebid 2NT?
If he or responder bids 2 of a major, does it show
a 4 or 5 carder?
It
appears to me that the 2 opening
is really
bad - you lose a lot of space just to tell everybody
that you have 21+ HCP or 9 trick hand.
