If a neutral bid is not a limiter, it's a non-limiter. Until you limit your hand, partner must keep bidding.
| West | North | East | South | |
|---|
| pass | pass | 1 | pass | |
| 2 | | | | |
Forcing, as West's hand is not limited. A pass in first or second hand is a non-limiter and effectively ignored in subsequent bidding.
| West | North | East | South | |
|---|
| 1 | pass | 1NT | pass | |
| 2 | | | | |
Forcing. Neither
1
nor
2
are limiters.
| West | North | East | South | |
|---|
| | | 1NT | pass | |
| 2 | | | | |
Forcing, not because it's Stayman, but because it's natural and not a limiter.
| West | North | East | South | |
|---|
| 1 | pass | 2 | pass | |
| 2NT | | | | |
Natural, but not a limiter and nor was
1
, so forcing. Opener here could have bid 3NT to play, so 2NT is either strong but unsure or very strong and waiting.
