You have 20 points and two good 5-card Majors so you bid a Michaels 2♣.

Partner responds 2♠. What do you say next?


Partner may have as few as zero points and as many as 13 or so. You COULD bid an invitational 3♠, but if he has only 5 or 6 points he will pass. Looking at your hand you only need to find partner with ♠ J x x to have a good shot at game. So go ahead and bid 4♠.

Will you look at that.
Partner has only 2 points, but what great ones to have!
