Where 2♦ shows a weak two bid in one of the majors.

| 2♦ | ? |
| Dbl | 13 - 15 OR 19+ Balanced or semi-balanced |
| 2♥ | Natural |
| 2♠ | Natural |
| 2NT | 16 - 18 balanced, suggest you play systems on |
| 3♣ | Natural |
| 3♦ | Natural |
| 3♥ - 3♠ | Unused |
| 3NT | Whatever you’d play it over weak 2, either gambling or points |
With a 3-suited hand, pass and make a takeout doubel next round (if they bid your short suit).
With a 2-suited hand, overcall or make a cuebid next round.
Waiting to bid comes with its own danger, you might be preempted, but it avoids getting into the auction with our suit, and no fit.
