Deal 28	♠ A J 8 ♥ Q 6 5 2 ♦ 8 7 3 ♣ A 7 4		WEST   NORTH   EAST   SOUTH 1♠ pass 1NT pass 2♣ pass 3♠ pass pass pass South opens 1♠. North cannot say 2♥ because he only has 11 points, and also because he only has 4 ♥s. So he bids 1NT (forcing for 1 round). South rebids 2♣, a 3-card suit. North now jumps to 3♠, showing limit-raise strength. This sequence is the way to show a limit-raise with only 3 trumps; an immediate jump-raise to the 3-level shows a limit-raise with 4 trumps. In any case South has a bare minimum and passes the invitation.  Back to Lesson
