Jordan 2NT

• Bridge Conventions (List)

Where partner opens a major (say S), and overcaller doubles, responder bids 2S with a minimum hand, 3S preemptively, and a Jordan 2NT as a limit raise or better. XX in this position shows 10+ points, and tends to deny opener's suit.

              S: Qxx              H: Qxx              D: KQxx              C: Axx               S: AKxxx              H: x              D: Axx              C: KJxx  W        N       E        S                                  1S X        2N      P        4S P/O 

Responder would bid 2S with Qxx/Qxx/Kxxx/xxx, 3S with Qxxx/xxx/Kxxxx/x, and XX with Qx/Qxxx/KQx/Axx.

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.
