  • Patty Tucker © February 2021 Page 1 to BID, OR NOT to BID UNUSUAL
    TO BID, OR NOT TO BID UNUSUAL 2N That’s the question! You are probably familiar with Unusual 2N, a bid made by Overcaller designed to show two long suits and a weak(ish). There are a few variations, but most partnerships play that it shows: 5+/5+ cards in the two lowest unbid suits, Less than an opening hand and Good suits. So, for example, if the bidding proceeded: North East South West 1♥ 2N East would be showing 5+ clubs, 5+ diamonds, less than an opening hand, and something like 3 of the top 5 honors in each of the suits. Some partnerships have less rigid restrictions. They might bid 2N with bad suits. They might bid 2N with opening points. That is their decision. I like to know what to expect from partner’s hand. My agreements are typically very structured and precise. However, even I make some strategic decisions when deciding whether or not to bid 2N, overcall one of my suits, or simply pass. I’m going to talk about today about the other factors that can influence whether or not you decide to bid 2N. Some of these ideas can be carried over to the Michaels Cuebid as well, but I’m specifically addressing bids of Unusual 2N. On the following hands we are going to look at how each of these affect your decision To Bid, or Not to Bid. Patty Tucker © February 2021 Page 1 The factors to take into consideration are: Vulnerability and Level Suit Quality and Length High Card Points 2nd Person to bid, or 3rd or 4th What do you gain? Vulnerability It’s difficult sometimes to be able to bid both minor suits.
