After the opposing double, the Twisted SWINE bids are:
Meaning | |
---|---|
Pass | Requires partner to make an artificial redouble. Shows either a good hand that wants to play 1NT redoubled, OR diamonds and a black suit (4-4 or better). After partner's redouble:
|
Redouble | Requires partner to bid an artificial 2 relay. Shows a weak one-suited hand (5+ cards) OR a game-forcing one-suiter (rare).
|
2 | Clubs and a major (at least 4-4). Partner can pass with club tolerance, or bid |
2 | Diamonds and hearts (at least 4-4). Partner can pass with 3+ diamonds or correct to |
2 | Hearts and spades (at least 4-4). Partner can pass with heart tolerance or correct to |
2 | 5+ spades and constructive values (better than redoubling and then bidding 2). Non-forcing. |
2NT | A strong and unbalanced hand, at least 5-5 shape in any two suits. Game-forcing. |
3-suit | Preemptive, presumably a good 6+ card suit or longer. Note this agreement can be tacked onto practically any escape system. |
