Re Da Cb Stayman Threads Say More Whatever reply partner makes to your 2♣. the worst case scenario is a 5 2 diamond fit (if, holding a 3♠3♥2♦5♣ shape, partner responds 2♦) or a 4 3 major fit (with the second or third hand) but, given your club weakness, a 4 3 fit. Stayman is usually not used with 4333 shape, since this distribution tends to be more conducive to playing in no trumps. in his book "50 winning duplicate tips", australian expert ron klinger recommends bypassing stayman with a balanced 4432 when holding a combined 28 30 hcp.
Stayman Linktree Using stayman often promises enough strength to invite to game. but even if that is your understanding with your partner, you can play "garbage stayman" you can bid stayman with a weak hand and pass whatever partner bids. the ideal is a 4 4 5 0 distribution. Going back over the years in bridgewinners, i see there are some differences of opinion as to what garbage, crawling and drop dead stayman mean. for the purposes of this particular poll, i've called it 'weak stayman' (but it's not the focus of the poll). When responder makes a second bid after stayman, opener should work out what he knows about responder’s hand and decide if another bid is required. look at this bidding sequence. It is one of the few sequences where responder can use stayman with a weak hand. 2♠ = invitational with 5 spades and 4 hearts (can also be used with a suit oriented invitational hand with 4 4 in the majors).

In this video lesson we learn about using stayman to show a weak hand with 5:4 in the majors. rather than the traditional 11 hcp required, you can bid this version stayman with any number of points!. Weak hands with both majors can be played as either one of 5 4 or 4 4 shapes as agreed. it is worth pointing out that if the stayman enquiry is followed by a jump to 3nt then the sequence is promissory there would be no point in following the stayman route otherwise. One you have decided to bid a weak stayman, it is imperative that you pass opener's rebid. any subsequent action of any sort by your hand categorically promises 8 points. The effect of your bidding stayman will usually be to have partner declare a 4 3 2 "12* contract. your weak club holding suggests that this will probably play better than no trumps.
