������Ҫ��Responses to a Weak-Two Opening (2D, 2H or 2S)

Partner's Weak Two is a preempt -- you're not obligated to respond unless
you want to preempt higher in his suit or try for 
game. The meanings of responses are:  
 
     New suit = Strong hand, good 5+-card suit. The Weak Two opener must
                bid again.  
     2NT = Good hand (usually with a fit for partner's suit), at least  
		invitational to game. 2NT asks opener to show an 
    		 outside Ace or King by bidding that suit at the 3-level.
                 If he doesn't have one, he "retreats" to 3 of his suit. 
     Simple raise of opener's suit = A weak, competitive raise. It shows a
                fit for partner's suit and a few tricks, but is not
     		invitational to game-partner should always pass.  
     3NT or 4 of a major = To play. Partner should not bid again. 
 
To assess your chances for game, don't count points. Since you have a picture
of partner's hand, you should instead count
winners and losers. For example: 
 
(1)QJ52   J   KQ732   AQJ 
If partner opens 2H, pass. Even though you have 16 pts., your poor fit gives
     you little hope of game. You have 4  possible losers in the outside
     suits and partner could have 2 heart losers. Even if partner has an
     outside Ace or King, you  can't count 10 tricks. However, if partner had
     opened 2S, your trump fit makes this hand much more powerful, and you
     would bid 4S. 

(2)J854   6   KQ65   KQ73 
If partner opens 2S, bid 2NT to ask for an outside Ace or King. If he
  answers 3C or 3D, bid 4S. Count your tricks: 3 in the minor where partner
  has the Ace, 1 in the other minor, 5-6 spades (your length fills in his
  suit) and 1 or more heart ruffs in dummy. If partner instead answers 3H,
  you aren't sure of game,
  so bid only 3S and let partner decide.
