Further bids on 4C/D (South Afr. Texas)
By Woodgrove

Did you know that you can control the bidding sequence even when your partner opens with 4club/diamond (transfers)?

In this version (from Woodgrove) the opener promises 8 to 8½ tricks with max one of those tricks in a side suit. In addition opener must have either a solid suit or a semi solid suit missing the ace.
