Opener's Rebid without a fit by Matthias Huberschwiller

You have opened the bidding and your partner has bid a major.

Sadly, you don't have a fit. You will need to continue describing your hand, in both shape and points.

Good luck.

♦ A K J 2
♣ K Q J 8

Q: 2 - What do you bid as South?

South	West	North	East
1♦	Pass	1♠	Pass
?

A: 2 NT - Jumping to 2 NT shows a hand with 18-19 points and no Spade fit. How can you remember the 18-19 zone? It is the "void" between 15-17 for a 1NT opener, and 20-21 for a 2NT opener.
