Game -- Standard American NON 2 Over 1 without Reverses: Non-Forcing, One Round Forcing or Game Forcing?

Let's play a game. The name of the game is "Standard American NON 2 Over 1 without Reverses: Non-Forcing, One Round Forcing or Game Forcing?"

I will give you a bid and you have to tell me whether or not it is a Non-Forcing bid (Partner is allowed to say Pass to the bid), a One Round Forcing bid (Partner must bid at least one more time but the partnership is not forced to game) or a Game Forcing bid (both Partners MUST bid until game is reached.)

This post concentrates on Standard American bridge in a NON 2 Over 1 auction. So basically when Responder responds at the 1 level to Opener's opening 1 level bid. Responder only promises 6 or more HCP so Opener needs a BIG hand in order to force to game.

Bids that Opener can now make that are ONE ROUND forcing:
Opener REVERSES (we are going to ignore these bids this post)

Bids that Opener can now make that are GAME forcing:
Opener makes a JUMP SHIFT

Don't know what a jump shift is? Check out this post:
Jump Shifts

All the rest of the bids Opener can make are NON forcing.

Pretty easy, eh?

You are probably thinking that is not really fair. Opener can't really force to game that easily at all. This is somewhat true. Remember Opener COULD HAVE opened the bidding 2♣ if they had a hand big enough to force Responder to game if Responder had nothing. So when Opener choose to NOT open the bidding 2♣ they do need a little something from Responder. If Responder has a little something they will bid again and game will be reached.

To be extra nice I even am giving the auctions in order and having Responder bid the next suit up from Opener's. This will eliminate all reverses (which can be confusing) and should hopefully make it easier to answer.
