[@ericapierce1594]

Great lesson - very clear. Thank you!

cheers - try muppet next 🙂

Excellent presentation explaining even the more complicated aspects in a straightforward manner. Watch and digest slowly for a sound grasp of the principles. Then test yourself with the exercise hands. Repeat and you will have this convention nailed.

Glad you enjoyed it!

14:26 - you can also play Puppet Stayman opposite a 1NT opening bid.

Excellent presentation, a question. 2nt, 3c, 4d, does responder bid the major they have or the major they don't have? Thanks.

[@johnworf]

do you mean after 2nt,3c,3d,4d..here the 2nt open bids the major they have - otherwise you could be heading to the 5 level when no slam is on. If you are talking about 2nt 3c 3d 3h* here the weak hand bids the major they don't have. I hope that has cleared up any confusion - but let me know if it hasn't.

Yes got it, 2nt,3c,4d, 4s would force 5h if u bid the suit you dont have, where as 2nt, 3c, 3d, you bid the suit you dont have as 3nt available. Thanks again.
