Once you opened the bidding 1♥ and partner responds at the 1 level (either 1♠ or 1NT), if you can’t support partner you need to make another bid. If you decide to bid your ♥ again you should have more length than you originally promised. After all you don’t want to keep telling partner what you already told them! You told them you had 5 ♥ when you opened the bidding. If you rebid 2♥ you show a minimum opening hand with a 6 card ♥ suit. If you have more values you can jump to 3♥ to show 16 to 18 HCP with a GOOD 6 card ♥ suit. Note that you do NOT get to count distribution points here. You have no idea you and your partner have a fit. This is High Card Points only!
Opener
Responder
1♥
1♠ or 1NT
2♥
Partner I have about 13 to 15 HCP and 6 ♥
3♥
Partner I have about 16 to 18 HCP and a GOOD 6 card ♥ suit
With that in mind, on all the following hands you opened the bidding 1♥. Partner responded 1♠. It is your turn to bid again. What will you bid and what does it say about your hand?
Hand 1
