Ghestem Jump Overcalls

• Bridge Conventions (List)

After opponents' open at the one-level, you make a jump overcall of
2NT = lowest ranking two suits 3C = lowest and highest ranking two suits 3D = 2 highest ranking two suits

    X = penalties of at least 1 of their suits    Cue bid one of known suits to show tolerance for opener's suit & a control in the bid suit.     (looking for NT if pard has the other one covered)    Bid the 4th suit - forcing, support, good hand not interested in a penalty    Simple raise of partner = limited    Jump raise of partner  =  pre-emptive     Jump in one of their suits = splinter    Jump in 4th suit = big hand,  play in 6 or 7? 

 
 

 
 

A bidding convention is an agreement between two players on a different meaning of a bid in the card game bridge. These agreements are made so that partners can more quickly determine which contract, with both their cards, they can win together. Often, conventions are forged together into one, which is then called a bidding system.
