The crux of the matter is that there is no anchor suit so double gets a new meaning.
- Double shows a balanced 12-15 or a balanced 19+ or a powerful one suiter.
- 2H/S are natural showing a high quality 5+ suit and opening points or thereabouts.
- 2NT is a balanced 16-18 just like over a weak 2 except there is no requirement for a diamond stop since the diamond opening bid was not natural.
- 3C/D/H/S are natural showing a high quality 6+ card suit and comfortable opening points.
- 3NT to play, usually based on a long running minor.
- 4C shows a powerful 2 suiter, hearts and a minor, happy to play in either. Partner supports hearts or bids 5C which will be passed or corrected to 5D. This is a sort of variation on Leaping Michaels over a Weak 2
- 4D ditto but spades and a minor
- 4H/S to play
