   Author: Larry Cohen. Date of publish: 03/31/2012. Level: All Levels. Printer friendly version. PUPPET STAYMAN. This variation of regular Stayman is used by the partner of a notrump bidder to locate not only a 4-card major with the notrumper, but also a 5-card major. I like to use 1NT-3 as Puppet.

   What is a Puppet Stayman?

   • PUPPET STAYMAN This variation of regular Stayman is used by the partner of a notrump bidder to locate not only a 4-card major with the notrumper, but also a 5-card major. I like to use 1NT-3 as Puppet. So, I use it only with enough values for game (10+ points for responder). The Puppet Stayman user is looking for a 5-3 major-suit fit.

   When should a responder use Puppet Stayman?

   • Puppet Stayman should be used normally when looking for a 5-card major (seeking a 5-3 fit). Responder should not use Puppet Stayman with 4-4 in the majors, nor with 4-3-3-3 shape. Usually, responder has 3 cards in one major and a doubleton or singleton somewhere. Here are hands with which I would respond 3 (Puppet) to 1NT:

   How does Puppet Stayman respond to 2D?

   • The 2D response actually turns these deficiencies of normal Puppet Stayman into strengths and eliminates the 4-4 in the majors problem hands from the 2C auctions. With a few rare exceptions, opener replies to 2D by bidding his best major, hearts with equal majors. Hearts equal to or longer than spades. At least 3. Spades longer than hearts.

    Jan 4, 2001 · Responder#1 wants to get out of 1NT before the doubling starts but if, using ordinary Puppet Stayman, he bids 1NT-2C, 2D-2H opener may well bid 2NT or even 3NT. Responder#2 can bid 1NT-2C, 2D-2H but if opener bids 2NT he may have to pass without finding out whether opener has 4 hearts.
