 Opener's Rebid without a fit by Matthias Huberschwiller

You have opened the bidding and your partner has bid a major.

Sadly, you don't have a fit. You will need to continue describing your hand, in both shape and points.

Good luck.

 Your choice:
A: 1 NT - You can't pass as your partner's bid is forcing. Rebidding in No-Trump shows a balanced hand, 12-14 at the 1-level, without a fit.

Question 2

Q: 2 - What do you bid as South?

?


 Your choice:
A: 2 NT - Jumping to 2 NT shows a hand with 18-19 points and no Spade fit. How can you remember the 18-19 zone? It is the "void" between 15-17 for a 1NT opener, and 20-21 for a 2NT opener.

 Your choice:
