Theory

You opened with a weak bid


You pretty much defined your hand with your opening bid - now partner is in control.  It will be rare that your rebid is anything other than a direct response to any questions which partner might have asked.


Having said that, it is vital that you interpret partner’s bid correctly.

This will depend on partnership agreements regarding both the opening bid and responder’s first bid.

The most common scenarios are discussed on the following pages.


you opened a specified single-suiter


you opened with a two-suited bid.

Beginner and above

Responder’s first bid

Responder’s rebid

Context  -  Opener’s rebid - you opened two of a suit.
