Bridge by Steven Becker Five responses to one notrump openings
1. Two notrump. With eight or nine points and a balanced hand this is the normal response. Partner passes with 16, bids three notrump with 18, and uses judgment with 17. 2. Three spades. Jump shows game interest over a 16 to 18 point notrump. three spades preferred to three hearts. If partner bids three notrump, four hearts follows. 3. Four notrump. Indicates 15 or 16 points to invite slam on maximum values. opener passes with 16, bids six with 18, uses judgment with 17. 4. Pass. Best is one notrump, aiming for a partscore. partner likely has at least six high-card points. 5. Four hearts. Distributional value matters more. go to four hearts assuming notrump bids yield about three tricks lost.
