Truscott - A novel defensive bid used
over opponent's "Big Club" opening bid. Generally, an overcall of a
suit shows a two-suited hand, indicating the suit bid and the next higher
suit (if Spades, then Clubs in inferred). To show non-touching suits,
the overcaller's bid is the Double to include the RHO's suit; otherwise, the
overcaller bids 1 Notrump for non-touching suits not including RHO's suit.
A 6+ card suit is simply bid at the 2 level or higher.
