Acol weak nt, change of suit by responder is F1
Opener would usually repeat a 6cd suit than raise responders first suit with 3.




1. What now ?
2. Should South open ?

1. 3. TBH I can't even see the rationale for anything else. Partner can continue with three of either major (forcing) if he wants.

2. Yes.

IMO
  • Now? 3 = 10. 2 = 8. 3 = 6.
  • Open? 2 (if available) = 10. 1 = 9. Pass = 8.

1. 3 - shows a minimum hand with and no fit for partner's suits. Your 1 loser almost solid suit will be good at a contract, but may not be worth much to partner in a major contract. Conversely, honors in partner's suits can be useful to you in a contract. Raising partner's 2nd suit is rarely right with 3 card support.

2. A weak 2 if available, otherwise 1 . If the suit were a major, I'd always open 1 of the major with a guarded K outside.

1-3

2-It is a matter of style. "Should" or "Should not" are too strong, without knowing your style and other bids available imho.
"Genius has its own limitations, however stupidity has no such boundaries!"
"It's only when a mosquito lands on your testicles that you realize there is always a way to solve problems without using violence!"

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."
