In any discussion of pre-empts vulnerability is a concern. The bidder must be more cautious when vulnerable and may be "friskier" when not vulnerable. |

Opener |
Responder |
|
2 of a major (5-11 h.c.p. and 6 card suit) |
weak actions not forcing, just increasing the pre-empt - with 3 card support raise to 3 level - with 4 card support raise to 4 level strong action forcing - bid 2 no trump (a command partner tell me more) |
|
1) opener responds 3 of a suit below the major showing a feature (another ace or king) in that suit and a good hand 2) opener responds 3 of the major showing a weak hand whether it has a feature or not 3) opener responds 3 no trump showing no feature, but a solid suit |
|
3 of any suit - less h.c.p. than a real opening bid - 7 card suit - no outside ace, i.e. an ace in another suit that is not the pre-empt suit 4 of a any suit - same as above but with an 8 card suit |
responder now decides the final contract |
