Revolutionary Rebids
Lesson 1 - Opener is Single-Suited
Monday, 9 January: 10-11am AEDT

At opener's second turn, they will describe the shape and quality of their hand. If one-suited, you need six or more cards of your own suit, and usually, not another suit.

Lesson 2: Opener is Two-Suited
Monday, 16 January: 10-11am AEDT

These hands are the hardest to get right, because sometimes there's no fit at all, and you need to stay low in order to make your contract. Responder may need to give "preference" to one of opener's suits.

Lesson 3 - Opener is Balanced
Monday, 9 January: 10-11am AEDT

Make sure you show points exactly when making your rebid here. You will have a hand which is either fewer in points than 1NT (15 - 17) or stronger (18,19). It's all about points with balanced hands.

Lesson 4 - Opener has a Fit for one of Responder's Suits
Monday, 9 January: 10-11am AEDT

Rebidding to show the fit is easy - it's just the level that needs work. Jumping straight to game requires a strong hand, and sometimes showing shortage as well as the fit will help partner evaluate their hand for game or even slam.
