Defense to Multi 2
devised by Danny
Kleinman
After an opening Multi 2
by
opponents, calls in direct seat show:
- Double = takeout of
weak 2
- 2
=
hearts and a minor - 2
=
spades and a minor - 2NT = takeout of weak 2
- 3
/3
= natural - 3
/3
= natural and strong (good
enough suit to be confident it's not opener's) - 3NT = natural, usually based on running minor
- 4
=
strong: clubs and hearts (Leaping Michaels) - 4
=
strong: diamonds and hearts (Leaping Michaels)
Delayed calls show:
- Double = strong balance
- 2
=
natural - 2NT = minors
- 3
=
clubs and four cards in the major opener doesn't have - 3
=
diamonds and four cards in the major opener doesn't have - 3
/3
= natural - 4
=
strong: clubs and spades (Leaping Michaels) - 4
=
strong: diamonds and spades (Leaping Michaels)
