Takeout Doubles Breakdown: (Part 8 of 24) Advancer – A Suit at the Cheapest Level cont’d

When we decide to not pass and that we cannot make the game-forcing cue bid, we go back to our normal order of priority: Major first, notrump second, and minor last. But unlike other auctions, when we bid a suit, we are giving our partner a range. Bidding at the cheapest level—regardless of whether it’s at the one, two, or three level—shows 0–9 points and 4 or more cards.
