A 1-level response in a suit is not very descriptive.
Responder is promising at least 4 cards in his suit with 6+ points.

A 1H response could be based on a very weak hand, such as:
&spades86 &heartsJ753 &diamsK72 &clubsQ764

However, responder also might have a terrific hand, such as:
&spades (void) &heartsAK9864 &diamsKJ2 &clubsAKJ4

Without question, the 1-level response is one of the most ambiguous bids in bridge.
The opening bidder does not know much about his partner's hand.
Therefore, at responder's second turn, he MUST make a descriptive bid.

The bottom line here is:

After a 1-level response in a suit, responder's rebid is the key bid in the auction.

In this lesson, Marty will discuss:

• How to deduce what opener holds.
• How opener's first two bids affect the evaluation of your hand.
• How to correctly resolve close decisions.
• How to improve your bidding judgment.
• What responder needs to reverse.
• 4th Suit Forcing - the absolutely essential convention for all levels.
