Nothing has happened to disrupt North&#8217;s plans so they rebid 2NT to show a balanced 17\/18 points.<\/p>\n<p>Which Suit To Open<\/p>\n<p>If you have a balanced hand with 15+ points then you will need to choose a suit to open.<\/p>\n<p>Priority 1 &#8211; If you have a 5 card minor open that suit.<\/p>\n<p>Priority 2 &#8211; If you have a 4 card major open that suit. If you have 2 four card majors then open 1 heart.<\/p>\n<p>Priority 3 &#8211; If you have 2 four card minors open 1 club.<\/p>\n<p>Priority 4 &#8211; If you only have 1 four card suit then open that.<\/p>\n<p>Missing Your Bid<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes you will open 1 of a suit with the intention of rebidding 1NT to show 15\/16 points. However, if partner responds at the 2 level you will be unable to complete your plan.<\/p>\n<p>In this case you just have to rebid NT at the lowest possible level, or pass.<\/p>\n<p>If you have been forced to rebid 2NT then partner should be a bit more forgiving on the point range.<\/p>\n<p>Supporting Partners Suit<\/p>\n<p>If you open 1 of a suit with the intention of rebidding in NT, but partner bids a 4 card major for which you have 4 card support then cancel your plans.<\/p>\n<p>If this happens then support partner to the level appropriate to your points.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If partner responds at the 1 level they are showing at least 6 points. So you need 17 or 18 to invite to game by biddng at the 3 level, and 19 points to bid straight to game yourself.<\/p>\n<p>If partner responds at the 2 level then they are showing at least 10 points. This means you need 13 or 14 points to bid invitationally at the 3 level., and 15 points to go straight to game.<\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\r\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-761\" data-postid=\"761\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-761 themify_builder tf_clear\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rebidding in No Trumps If you have a balanced hand with more that 14 points then you cannot open 1NT.
