In a strong pass system, there are no 3rd and 4th seat openings because pass is also an opening bid.

    This is the garbage opening bid that is used in every strong pass system. Although it might feel dangerous, there are not going to be many large penalties.
  • 1/: 4+card, NF, up to 20 HCP
  • 1NT: Forcing asking bid, Romex style
  • 2x: To play
  • 2NT: 0-4 losers, 2-suiter

    If 1 gets doubled, pass suggests playing there, redouble suggests playing somewhere else, and anything else is natural.

    1 - 1NT - ?
  • 2: Second negative
  • 2: Maximum 4-card
  • 2: Maximum 4-card
  • 2: Maximum, no 4-card major

    Any structure can be used, but there are two things to note here
  • Flannery type hands are opened 2, so 1 - 1 shows 5 cards.
  • Minimum hands with 6/ are opened 2/, making 2/1 GF unneccessary.

    1M - 2/1 - ?
  • New suit above 2M : Natural, non-minimum
  • 2M: Minimum, 5-card M (can be unbalanced)
  • 2NT: GF, 6-card M
  • 3M: Medium opening, balanced
  • 3NT: Maximum opening, balanced 1
