2b. What is opener's distribution? >2-2-3-6<
2c. Explain the reasoning for the distribution. >Because opener didn't support hearts, opener doesn't have 3 hearts. Because opener did not bid 2 spades, opener doesn't have 3 spades. If either major suit had 0 or 1 cards, opener would have at least 4 diamonds and would bid 3 diamonds. Therefore, opener must be 2-2-3-6.<
