Correct Responses to Two-Bid Are Necessary for .- Good Bridge
By VIM. E. MCKINNEY America'S Card Authority

Some players do not properly un- derstand the responses to the two- bid. There are several conventional responses to tlie original two-bid, most of which are satisfactory if understood. The responses that I favor are as follows: With two aces, 4 no trump; with one ace, bid that ace; with a trick and a half without an ace, 3 no trump; with less than a trick and a half, 2 no trump; with four of your partners trump and a singleton or a king, jump to four in his suit. +,.
 These responses are more or less 8 matter of memory, but the re- sponses made later in the bidding bear thought. For example, South opens today's hand with two spades. West passes. North must bid two no trump, although due to his solid club suit, he could bid four spades.
 When his partner bids three hearts, North should not jump to four spades. The two-bid guaran- tees that the hand is going to game, and a jump to four spades might
