Responder has a balanced 9-11 after a 1d opening

[jerome keslin]

In KSU, 1d - 1nt  is 5-8, and 1d - 2nt is 12-15.

What does responder with  say, 9-11?

Please look at B-18 and B-19.

See the KSU notes. Per B-1, with 9-11 (12), R bids (in order of preference):

1. 1 M,

2. Single raise with 4-card or longer support, or 

3. Other minor.

Continuations after 1D-2C are at B-19.

Let me add to the others:  after either 1c - 1d or 1d - 2c

responder's only weak rebids are in the minors.  Anything

else requires at least 9 HCP.  This is particularly

striking in B-3 where

1c  - 1d

1M - 1NT 

promises 9-11 HCP.  With 5-8 balanced, responder should

have bid 1NT rather than 1D.

With a 5-8  5c-3-3-2 you must respond 1NT to 1d.  In his

original KS book, EK recommended that opener rebid 2c

 holding the  like of 1=4=5=3.  Note that there must be an

 8-card fit in one of the minors.  Also, while one could

wind up in a 7-card fit, it's never happened to me in 

practice, and it has scored well, even at match points.

Fred.
