2 Clubs opening

This is the strongest opening of all. You only bid it if you have enough tricks on your own for 4♥/♠ or with 23+ points and a NT-shape

Becase 2♣ is forcing to game, both players cannot pass until game is bid!

Responding to a 2 Clubs opening

• You may never pass
• Bid 2♦ with any 0-7 points hand (this says nothing about diamonds)
• Bid 2♥/♠ with 8+ points and a good 5-cards uit in hearts/spades
• Bid 2NT with 8+ punten and no 5 card major

Rebid after 2 clubs opening

• Bid 2NT with a NT-shape. After this, partner can bid Jacoby or Stayman (both from 0 points already)
• Bid 2♥/2♠/3♣/3♦ if you have a strong hand with a long suit
