After 1![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Suggested defense to 2 ![]() After 1 ![]() ![]() ![]() Transfer responses to one of a major followed by TO double. We also play transfer responses to overcalls. They are only on when there are steps between the opening suit and the overcalled suit, and the opener’s partner passes or makes a negative double. 3N opener shows a 7 card minor semi-solid or solid with outside stoppers, good hand. 2 ![]() ![]() ![]() |
