Note: This page is incomplete - only the rebids after a major-asking bid are developed.
If you opened 1§ and your partner made a first response (or your opponents have
bid, keeping the bidding open), you should have a pretty good idea of where you are going.
Your first responsibility is to show a 4-card major suit (if asked for), support for your
partner's major (if bid) or indicate the nature of your hand otherwise.
If your partner has made a
major-asking bid (i.e. 1¨
after a pass by LHO, Double after a suit bid by LHO and Redouble after Double by
LHO).
