The Michaels cuebid is a conventional bid〔(BridgeGuys.com description of the Michaels Cuebid )〕 used in the card game contract bridge. First devised by Michael Michaels of Miami Beach, it is an 's cuebid in opponent's opening suit and is normally〔Some partnerships use it as a weak three-suited takeout bid. See 〕 used to show a two-suited hand with at least five cards in each suit and eight or more points. After the opponents have opened at the one-level, the overcaller bids the same suit at the two-level; the two normal cases are: #Over an opponent's minor opening, a cuebid shows both majors. For example, 1 – 2 shows hearts and spades. #Over an opponent's major opening, a cuebid shows the other major and a minor suit. For example, 1 – 2 shows hearts and either clubs or diamonds. Partner can make a 2NT relay bid to request partner to bid his minor suit. Partnerships who have incorporated Michaels cuebid amongst their agreements usually also play the unusual notrump convention. ==Requirements== Point count requirements vary and are a matter of partnership agreement. It is commonly agreed that a Michaels cuebid is constructive and should be made on hands that hold the prospect of winning the auction; hand emphasis is on trick-taking capability suggesting for suits containing most of the HCP and having good texture, particularly at unfavourable vulnerability. With less than eight points, Michaels is not recommended - the chances of winning the auction are small and gives the opponents too much information. Bidders expecting to make or sacrifice can use basic Michaels at all point ranges with eight or more. In a common variant, known as Mini-Maxi Michaels, candidate hands are classed into three ranges and Michaels is applied more selectively: *Weak - 8 to 12 points: use Michaels *Intermediate - 13 to 15 points: do not use Michaels, bid the higher suit followed by the lower *Strong - 16 or more points: use Michaels 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michaels cuebid」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
