Popular Conventions
All the conventions shown on these pages are those that I play with my regular
partner. There are numerous variations to most of these conventions but these variations are not shown, the content is limited
to the variation of the conventions that we play,
The Multi 2D
The variation of this convention we play shows either;
A weak 2 in a major(6-10 points and a decent 6 card suit)
OR a strong 2 in a minor(8+) playing tricks but not worthy of an opening 2 clubs
OR a balaced hand of 23-24 points.
Following on from this last option the rebid of 2NT/3NT by a 2 club opening hand shows 25-26/27+ points respectively.

A System of Responses

| 2♥ | Wants to play in partner's major | Passes
or corrects to 2♠ if a weak two opening Alternatively bids 2NT/3♣/3♦ to show the strong variations. |
| 2♠ | Game interest if partner's suit is hearts | Passes if original
bid was a weak two with spades Bids 3♥/4♥ to ahow a weaker/better weak 2 in hearts. Bids 2NT/3♣/3♦ to show the strong variations. |
| 2NT | A genuine interest in game | 3♣/3♦
shows hearts/spades and better versions of the weak two 3♥/3♠ shows weak twos at the lower end of the range 3NT shows an original AKQxxx in either major 4NT/4♣/4♦ shows opening was stro |
| Other bids | Taken as natural not forcing showing an excellent suit | Normal to pass with a weak two opener but may raise if your major is headed by top cards and a maximum of 3 losers in the outside suits(a 6-4 holding in your major and partner's suit). |
