Flannery

 

An opening of 2D to show 5 hearts, 4 spades and 11-15 hcp.

Responses are:

2H/2S to play

2NT asks for a description of the minor suits -

After 2 NT to describe minors:

3 of the minor (some people have the bid show a singleton)

3H 2-2 with 11-13 hcp

3S 2-2 with 14-15 hcp

3NT 2-2 with an honor in each minor

4min 4 of the minor (some would have this show a void)

3 of the minor asks partner to bid 3NT with a "fit" (Ax or Kx or Qxx) otherwise partner bids:

3H with minimum,

3S with maximum

3H/3S inviting game

3NT to play

4C/D transfers back to partner (C - Hearts, D - Spades)

4H/S to play

Some people use 2H instead of 2D as Flannery.

Reverse Flannery shows 5 spades, 4 hearts and 11-15. Responses are similar.
