GENERAL RULES FOR REBIDDING:
1. You shouldn't rebid a 4 card suit.
2. If it seems obvious that you don't have a game contract, let your bidding die at the 2 level if you can.
3. You shouldn't go into No Trump unless you and/or your partner clearly have the opposition's bid suit strongly stopped ( 2 honours).
4. You can take slightly more chances with your bidding if you are not vulnerable.
5. Always use common sense and logic and probability when you are deciding whether to rebid or not.
