Weekly Hand Analysis - Glenna Shannahan - January 24, 2022 - Michaels Cue Bid

 


Question: Should North use a Michaels Cue Bid and if so is it alertable?

Glenna:

 Michaels and Unusual 2NT do not require an alert. But, if an opponent asks for the meaning, the reply must NOT be the name Michaels or Unusual 2NT. The answer should be it shows 5-5 in the Majors for Michaels and shows the lower of 2 suits if it is the Unusual 2NT.

  As to whether or not North should use it is up to the individual partnership. It’s played to show any strength by some and others say it’s bad or great, but not good.

As always answer what agreement you have and make sure it’s clear to the opponents.

Thanks for the good question,

Glenna
