Use 2N for balanced hands and 1444 and 1345 and 1435. You will not miss clubs since opener will bid 3C over 2N with 4 card club support, and often with 3 card support and concern about a red suit...say 6313 or 6133.

South should have bid 2NT, and I'm also not a fan of the 4♦. South knows that a source of tricks from North is going to be vital, and the South hand is nothing but keycards. Let partner North ask aces, they will have a near-complete picture of the 52 cards!
Also thank West for not bidding 4♥ over 2♣.


I'm getting some resistance from players who think 2nt by South here should show a balanced hand and must promise 2 cards in partners major, which is how I've played it, until now. :D
They would jump to 4M with 6 after 2nt, which could be the crux of the problem. I now see 2N is the only bid with these 1444 o. 1345 etc hands.


"And no matter what methods you play, it is essential, for anyone aspiring to learn to be a good player, to learn the importance of bidding shape properly." MikeH
