Fits and more: Advancing Partner’s Overcall w/o a Fit (Set 4 of 8)

When partner makes a 1-level overcall it is a very wide-ranging action in terms of strength and shape – about 7 to 18 HCP and a 5+card suit. Advancer generally assumes Overcaller has at least 10 HCP, to narrow down the range to a more reasonable number. Here we look at Advancer’s options for bidding and what partner should expect. Our focus is on what Responder needs in order to bid a new suit or to respond NT.
