About this lesson
Five card or six, bust or game-going, balanced or shapely — your response changes for each. Lorna walks the full ladder: pass, relay, invite, force, and a few "exceptional sevens" where judgment beats the rules. Partnership agreements made plain, with five hands to test what you've learned.
What you'll pick up
- The five-card minor: pass at the one level vs. invite with 8–9
- Game-going minors via 3NT vs. jumping to the minor itself
- The "exceptional sevens" that beat the rules
- Five sample hands across the full response ladder
- Partnership-agreement language that keeps both sides honest
