What's worked well for many years with my partners is that 2H is the double negative, 2D is gf, and any other bid shows at least a 5 card suit with 2 of the top 3 honors and at least an outside A or K. Thoughts?
I can't tell you how many good boards I have received when the other side bid that way and played hearts from the wrong side. After a 2 Club opener, the partnership has too few natural bids, and taking away the natural response of 2 Hearts costs way too much.
let me ask, 2C --- 2D, what rebid opener if he holds 1453 (5 cards D and 4 cards H), maybe opener would rebid 3D, then what will responder bid if he hold zero control (broke)?? bidding goes 2C---2D, 3D --- ??? ........ thx so much
