  23. Summary • If you open 1 of a suit and partner bids 2 of the same suit • Remember partner is weak • You need a good hand to go on • When you bid again make sure partner knows what you mean • Normally you do not go on when partner agrees a minor

  24. Summary • Bidding a new suit after partner agrees a minor is an attempt to get to a NT contract • Bidding a new suit after partner agrees a major is: • A Long Suit Trial Bid if the bid is at the cheapest level • A Splinter if the bid is a jump bid • SO: Do NOT bid a new suit after partner agrees your major just because you have this suit as well
