However if there is a situation where it does apply it is a two level response to an opening one no Trump bid. Opener s hand is strictly limited and responder does have a number of invitational sequences that he can employ if he thinks there would be play for game opposite a maximum no Trump opener. When he does not use one of these it Means his hand is in the 0-7 Point Range. There is one Case where there might be a game if responder has a maximum sign off i.e., 7 Points. That is where opener is at the top of his Range for his opening bid and has excellent support for re Sponder s suit usually at least three cards headed by two High honors or four cards headed by a top Honor. In that Case opener can invite game by raising responder s major suit to the three level. The hand you held fails to meet either of these criteria. You had both a minimum no Trump opening bid and inadequate support for partner s suit. Without a doubt you should have passed his two heart response. Q.
