About this lesson
Partner opens, you've got two-to-six points and a six-card suit — jump. The weak jump shift describes a bad hand and steals space from the opponents in one move. Lorna covers the parameters, the seven-card extension to the three level, and works through example hands so you'll know exactly when this beautifully descriptive bid is yours to make.
What you'll pick up
- When a six-card suit and a weak hand belong on the three level
- The seven-card extension — and why partner shouldn't raise
- Reading partner's rebid without losing the descriptive bid
- Two hands where a weak jump shift is wrong, and what to bid instead
- The defensive payoff: stealing one full round of bidding space
