Sandwich Overcall - Unlike a cuebid, the Sandwich Overcall refers to
a natural suit bid in the fourth seat over opponents' bid suits (opening
with a minor suit, raised by a major suit). While the overcall is making a
natural call, the opposition normally expects the overcall would be an
artificial cuebid. Thus, the natural Sandwich Overcall
is alertable.
Examples:
(1D) - P - (1H) - 2H;
Sandwich Overcaller has great Hearts and a strong hand
(1C) - P - (1S) - 2C;
Sandwich Overcaller has great Clubs and a very good hand
