TIP OF THE DAY
NEVER DENY A FOUR CARD MAJOR
What does this mean? Firstly, it primarily applies to the responder after partner opened one of a suit (not 1NT). It does not apply when opening the bidding. Always open with longest suit even if it is a minor.
When responding to an opening bid of 1
1, 1 or 1 with less than 12 points bid a four card major at the one level if you can rather than bidding 1NT or a longer minor at the two level. It doesn't matter how poor the suit is! e.g.
5 4 3 2 6 A 8 5 K Q J 7 2
| North | East | South | West |
| 1 | Pass | 1 |
On this hand it is correct to bid 1 rather than 2.
With less than 12 points you will normally only be able to bid one of your suits so more important to show the major. With 12+ points bid the longest suit first as you have enough strength to bid both your suits.
