New Minor Forcing by Opener
- True reverse with both minors (even if not reverse). Not strong enough for MisIry transfer opening bid (with the bid suits), or possibly six-four or five-four
- Balanced 17-19 hcp (planning on rebidding 2NT if given a chance)(If you play new MisIry, a jump to 3NT instead of NMFO shows balanced 20-21).
- Strongish three card raise for openers major (weak raise raise immediately), remember, opener can not have strong 4 card support because we use immediate 2NT to show those hands.
- Strongish one suited hand in original minor (a jump rebid shows 6-3 with three card support).
There are two way this minor rebid can be made. One is as a reverse the other as a non-reverse. However, both the reverse and the non-reverse show “extra value”. With the reverse showing as a rule, slightly higher minimum value. Remember, 1D-1M-3C shows a WEAK minor two suiter.
Over both of these bids, 2NT by responder begins transfers, all bids a the three level are transfers. Some transfers are forcing, some are always weak.
Continuations after 1C-1M-2D
1C-1H-2D
---> Pass, long D, short clubs, weak (so new minor is only 99% forcing)
---> 2H = weak hand, willing to play 2♥ opposite 17-19

---------> 2NT, good 18 to 19 balanced
---------> 3C, only clubs

---------> 2NT balance 17/19
---------> 3C club one suiter
---------> 3D minor two suiter
---------> 3H strong three card raise,

1C-1S-2D
---> Pass, long D, short clubs, weak (so only 99% forcing)
---> 2H = waiting bid, unsuited for anything else, can be strong if rebids
---------> 2S three card support

---> 3NT = balanced 9 to 12, 4 hearts, bigger hands bid 2S first
Contintuations afer 1D-1M-2C
The same rules apply, but now you have two negative bids. The bid of 2&D which opener can pass, and the rebid of your own major.
1D-1H-2C
---> 2D maybe false prefernce
------> pass, to play
------> 3C, minor two suiter, responder picks best strain, nf
------> 2H, strong 3 card support, spade shortness
------> 2S, strong minor two suiter, 6D, 4C, looks for NT by responder
------> 2NT balanced 17/19
------> 3D very strong diamond one suiter
---> 2H weak signoff, no real tolerance for diamonds
---> 2S promises real values this time, since 2D available
---> 2NT = transfer to 3♣ for signoff or game try in another suit
---------> 3C
--------------> Pass to play clubs
--------------> 3D game try in diamonds
--------------> 3H game try in hearts.
--------------> 3S transfer to 3NT, balanced 9-12 with five spades, no spade stopper
--------------> 3NT mild slam try in clubs
---------> 3D strong diamond one suiter, short clubs
---> 3C
---------> 3D almost forced
--------------> 3H game try, etc like earlier auctions
1D-1S-2C
---> Pass (very rare, long clubs, short diamonds, very weak)
---> 2D maybe false prefernce

------> 2S, strong 3 card support, spade shortness
------> 2NT balanced 17/19
------> 3D very strong diamond one suiter
---> 2H waiting bid, but with real values this time, GF
---> 2S weak suit, no diamond tolerance
---> 2NT = transfer to 3♣ for signoff or game try in another suit
---------> 3C
--------------> Pass to play clubs
--------------> 3D game try in diamonds
