		This bid is forcing to the three level in a major suit or the four level in a minor suit.
		Suit bids at the one level are forcing for one round.
		Suit bids at the two level are not forcing and usually show six cards and less than 10 points.

	Spectrum 2/1-GF System Notes
		MINOR SUIT OPENINGS 1D shows a flat hand in the 13-14 or 18-19 point range or an unbalanced hand in the 13-21 point range.
		Minor suit responses are to be taken as forcing cuebids until Responder rebids that suit or a lower ranked one.
		Suit preference (high for a high ranked suit, low for a low ranking suit), attitude (high encourages, low discourages) and count (smallest from an odd number, echoing with an odd number in the suit) are all standard.

		This expectation of having every suit stopped might take the form of simple balance and point count, as in one no, pass, three no, where you could both have a low doubleton in, say, a major, a risk we accept for all the times it doesn't happen.
		The rebid of the minor should mean something else, and what it should mean is, "I heard your no trump partner, but my hand isn't really suited to no trump." The rebid of a trump suit at the three level is no stronger than a pass.
		The two no trumper can now take into account the value of a 5-5 club suit, looking at two low diamonds, or, having already denied a four-card major, start cue bidding his stoppers until it becomes apparent that diamonds simply are not stopped.

	After They Overcall (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		While the meanings of the single and jump raises are the same whether we are raising opener's major suit or minor suit (except that responder promises at least 4 card support instead of only 3), there is a key difference.
		This bid typically denies a major suit, but with a poor 4 card major and not enough hcp to make a negative double it is permissable to supress the major and make a preemptive raise.
		After responder cuebids overcaller's suit, showing an invitational or stronger hand with support for opener's minor, opener's next bid depends on the strength and nature of his hand.

		After partner opens, a jump-shift response by you into a suit is weak (unless it's a Two-over-one without interference, or there's an intervening strong 1NT overcall by RHO).
		New suit is natural (6+ suit) and not forcing.
		The trump suit is the suit agreed upon already; if no suit has been agreed, the last suit bid is agreed implicitly.

		New suit at four level after partner has shown strength is a cue showing a hand too strong to raise partner's last bid suit directly.
		Generally, if opponents make a two-suited overcall and both suits are known, cue of lower ranking suit is a good raise of opener's suit and a cue of the higher ranking suit shows a strong hand with the 4th suit.
		When a trial suit is available, double is a game try but also conveys co-operation if responder chooses to pass (ie good high card strength, two plus cards in opponents suit) eg.

		This suit corresponds to the yang, or masculine principle, in Chinese philosophy and is associated with the element Fire.

	Minor Suit Stayman
		The concept of this convention was created for the responder, whose holding includes a long Minor suit and, generally, very little values or very strong values indicating a strong interest in a possible slam contract in a Minor suit.
		Basically, the Minor Suit Stayman convention is applied as follows, and the assumption is made that the first opponent passes:
		When seeking a slam in a Minor suit, if the responder bids and rebids a Major suit, the second bid of the same Major suit promises a void.

		It's only a ballpark figure to indicate how minor suit games are sort of like unwanted guests at a feast, to be treated circumspectly and with no great fondness.
		The minors, they seem to say condescendingly, are to get the bidding started and perhaps to check and see if we've got 'em stopped for no trump and maybe every so often for competitive purposes when we have nothing but a long minor, but otherwise not to be given serious consideration.
		So I want to say in no uncertain terms that an adequate minor suit is better for trump than an inadequate major, and an adequate minor is better than no trump when you have a completely unstopped suit, particularly a scanty one.

		If your partner opens the bidding with a minor, he must have at least 3-cards, so you need 5+ cards for support (diamond openings are made mostly with 4+ cards, so 4+ cards support for diamond opening is acceptable).
		If you are supporting your partner's minor suit with at least five cards, you can jump one level in your partner's suit.
		Strong suit means a suit with at least two of top three honors:ace, king and queen.

		Following these bidding priorities ensures that you only end up playing a 'cheap' minor suit contract when the more profitable options (in NT, Hearts and Spades) are not feasible.
		Bidding a new suit (after a 1 in a suit opening) is dealt with in Lesson 7.
		In this case bid a new suit, or rebid your first suit (provided you have one more card in that suit than you promised with your first bid).

		The majors are forcing and show a five card suit with three cards in the other major, which may match opener's five card suit.
		If responder rebid a minor (1N-2C,2D-3m) and opener's five card suit is a major then he bids it - he can always show interest in partner's suit on the next round.
		Regardless of the suit opener shows, responder's rebid in opener's suit is invitational, 3N is to play and 4N is quantitative 4C is RKC in opener's suit and anything else is a cue bid.

	Responding in bridge
		For minor suit openings a new suit is always forcing raise: Don't worry about partner's pass when you show a new suit with so much points...
		If you are holding at least three or four cards of your partner's major suit, you can single raise your partner's opening suit one level (Remember that your partner has 5+ cards in that suit).
		Since any new suit is forcing we don't have to worry about a pass from partner..

	Splinter Bids (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Since partner only promises a 3-card suit when he opens a minor, we need six-card support to splinter because we have to guarantee that our side has a 9-card fit.
		Because game in a minor usually requires a little bit more oomph than a major (11 tricks and can’t have more than 2 losers) the hcp requirement is slightly higher than when we have a major suit: 11+ hcp instead of 9+.
		A good rule of thumb: if a particular suit bid would be natural and forcing, then a bid one level higher in that same suit is a splinter bid.

	The Opening Bid
		Don't worry: partner knows that you might not be serious about your minor suit, and will make every effort to find a major-suit fit before supporting your minor.
		At minimum, your suit should be headed by at least the Q-10, and it would be preferable to have the K-Q or Q-J-10.
		Your suit isn't great, but hopefully you can rob the opponents of their spade contract.

		Immediate new suit is a Q, with all suits controlled.
		The bid of the fourth suit in this case is a weaker "raise".
		In minor suit auctions, jump to 4N or raise NT to 4N, is always quantitative.
