Hong Little Card tries to have a little improvements over SAYC.
Even if there are just a few bids which are better than other systems, it will increase the chance to win.
For example, 2C bid as weak-2 could get more chance to bid in advance, which not only interfere opponent's system and also good for defense.
Also, 1H/1S major opening and 1NT opening have little advantage over other systems
Here is the brief description of the system and hope you enjoy it and take home master points with it.
Bid | Description | Note |
---|---|---|
* 1 | Forcing: Artificial: 15+ HP, and except 15-17HP balanced hands(which open with 1NT still, good 1NT opening from SAYC) | Bids after it should like Precision |
* 1 | Artificial, but non-forcing: 12-14hp without a major suit | Bids after it |
1/1 | 11-14hp: 5+ suit (better than SAYC with 11-14HP limit) | Bids after it |
1NT | 15~17hp balanced without 5 card major. (Those with 5 card major may better open with 1, then bid the major suit, showing both HP and the major suit | Bids after it |
Balanced Hand biddings | 12-14hp: 1->1NT 15-17hp: 1NT 18-20hp: 1 -> 1NT 21-22hp: 1 -> 2NT 23-25hp: 1 -> 3NT |
|
2/2/2/2 | Weak two: 5~11HP, 4+ suit trying to interfere opponent's system, and give defense information to your partner | Bids after it |
2NT | Weak. Preemptive, two minor suites. (Or use it for 23-24HP, balanced hand? Which hands have more chance to happen?) | Bids after it |
3/3/3/3 | Weak. Preemptive | Bids after it |
