Bidding practice
The most widely-played natural bidding system in North America. 5-card majors, strong 1NT (15-17), strong 2C, weak twos, Stayman, and Jacoby transfers.
North is the dealer. No one has bid yet. What is North’s opening call?

Planning
Stayman asked opener for his 4 card major. We can do that for both 1NT, and 2NT openings.
We do need to have a 4c support in one of the majors, and if we could do both that would be really great.
