Even opposite 22+ the partnership is rarely making game, but 2!C is forcing to at least 3 of a major (or game), so you cannot pass. Bid the waiting 2!D, then make your second negative on the next round to warn partner the hand is dead. https://www.bridgebum.com/strong_2c.php @chat*/ dealer south # South: strong, game-forcing 2C opener (22+ HCP) s2C = hcp(south)>21 # North: exactly 3-1-3-6 (3S, 1H, 3D, 6C) nShape = shape(north,3136) # North holds the SJ and the CT and NO other honor cards (A,K,Q,J,T) nSpades = top5(north,spades)==1 and hascard(north,JS) nHearts = top5(north,hearts)==0 nDiamonds = top5(north,diamonds)==0 nClubs = top5(north,clubs)==1 and hascard(north,TC) nBust = nShape and nSpades and nHearts and nDiamonds and nClubs s2C and nBust produce 30
