Dream Team Standard: Preempt Conventions

Our Preempts
Over Opponents' Preempts

Weak 2s: Described in the section on 2-level openings.

4M: A 4-level major suit opening should be considered to set trumps unilaterally. Thus, any new suit bid is a cue bid in an attempt to reach slam.

Over Opponents' Preempts

(2M)-4m: Good two-suited hand, with the bid suit and the unbid major.

(2M)-4N: Good and very shapely hand, promising both minors.

(2M)-4SM: Very strong hand with support for both minors.

(2Y)-2N: As a whole, we haven't come to an agreement on this. Some play it as unusual for the two lowest unbid suits, others play it as showing a 1NT opener type hand with the opponents' suit stopped. System may or may not be on. Discuss and reach agreement with your partner.
