WEAK TWO- TWO NT ASK - 4m jump

A good use for a unused bid was suggested in "Modern Ideas in Bidding" by Rosenkranz and Truscott (Devyn Press).
You open a weak two in a major. Partner asks with 2NT. No matter whether you use OGUST responses or Feature, consider adding a response of 4 of a lower suit to show a King in that suit and a semi-solid 6-card major.
Rosenkranz gives a example. KQJT84 32 K2 J87 opp A A54 AQJT83 A62. TWO SPADES-TWO NOTRUMP - FOUR DIAMONDS - SEVEN NOTRUMP.

Welcome to Ramesh's BRIDGE BLOG

In these pages, I comment on hands from Bridge Base Online ACBL tourneys. I play in these with a variety of partners with different degrees of skill. I might present a hand or two from my collection of bridge books, every now and then. I am more interested in play and defense than in complex bidding systems, but I do follow the cut and thrust of Vanderbilt and World Championship Vugraph and try to keep abreast of expert practice in the obstructive and constructive bidding system department. I may also feature, newspaper-style, famous hands from important matches that I saw on Vugraph.

NOTE: For JUNE, I am experimenting with adding BBO's Handviewers, which make bridge movies embedded. Just
scroll down beyond the few sampled book covers and you arrive at the blogs that play themselves with the NEXT button. THANKS, BBO!!
