Opener rebids with a FIVE and FOUR card suit

The last few post were talking about taking your Partner out of their 1NT response if you were unbalanced with a five card suit and a lower ranking four card suit.

Check these posts out first:
Opening 1 of a FIVE card suit and taking Partner out of 1NT by now bidding a lower ranking FOUR card suit
Opener has a FIVE card suit and a FOUR card suit when their Partner responds 1NT
Opener shows a FIVE card Diamond suit and a FOUR card Club suit

What happens if Partner doesn't respond 1NT. What should you rebid then?

Well if Partner responds 1 of a major and you have a fit you should support them.

Check out this post for more information on supporting Partner:
Rebidding when you have a fit for Partner's Major

Here is your hand:
♠J4
♥AK84
♦KQT84
♣84

You open 1♦ and Partner responds 1♥.

Partner is showing at least 6 HCP and at least four ♥.

You have a fit. Support Partner by bidding 2♥.

What happens if you DON'T have a fit for Partner's suit?

With a five card suit and a lower ranking four card suit you are unbalanced so you don't want to rebid 1NT. Rebid your lower ranking four card suit. (You should NOT jump in the bidding. That shows a GAME FORCING hand.)

So with this hand:
♠Q4
♥KQT84
♦84
♣KQJ4

Open the bidding 1♥. If Partner responds at the 1 level (either 1♠ or 1NT) rebid 2♣.

This shows five ♥ and four ♣.

With this hand:
♠Q4
♥84
♦KQT84
♣KQJ4

Open the bidding 1♦. If Partner responds at the 1 level (either 1♥, 1♠, or 1NT) rebid 2♣.

This shows five ♦ and four ♣.
