Baron over NT

1NT-P-2-P Baron asking opener to further describe his hand. This bid is game forcing and tends to be slammish

Responses are :

2NT shows any 5 card suit. Baron bidder can ask which by bidding 3.,

• 3=
• 3=
• 3=
• 3NT=

Any suit bid at the 3 level instead of the 2NT bid shows a 4 card suit and one higher because if openers distribution is 4-3-3-3 his response to Baron is 3NT. A 3NT response to Baron will most likely end any Slam aspirations because of the lack of ruffing value. If 1NT bidder shows his first 4 card suit and Baron bidder bids another suit he is still looking for a 4-4 fit. Basically you keep bidding 4 card suits until a fit is found then you raise When you run out of 5 and 4 card suits to bid at the current level you bid NT If Baron bidder at any time bids NT it is to play.
