 The bid has the dual objectives of preempting the opponents' bidding should they hold the and trying for a game in notrump on the gamble that partner might hold adequate support.Because this conventional bid replaces the standard use of opening 3NT (a hand with 25-27 high card points and a balanced distribution), partnerships must use other bids to show the standard 3NT hand.For partnerships which also employ the use of the strong two club convention, that bid can be used to describe a standard 3NT opening hand.
