Cappelletti

Cappelletti

Cappelletti (often misspelled "Cappeletti", also called Hamilton and Pottage) is bridge convention used for interventions over opponents' 1NT opening. Its invention is usually attributed to Mike Cappelletti, but origin of the concept is also claimed by Fred Hamilton, John Pottage and Gerald Helms.

Over 1NT, the intervening opponent can artificially overcall in second or fourth position, showing a one-suited or a two-suited hand:
*2 Clubs shows one-suited hand (usually, 6 or more cards). The partner is supposed to:
**bid 2Diams with a weak hand, where the overcaller is supposed to correct, or
**bid 2NT with a strong hand, (overcaller bids the suit)
*2Diams shows both major suits (at least 5-4),
*2Hearts shows hearts and a minor,
*2Spades shows spades and a minor,
*2NT shows both minor suits.
*Double is a penalty double. Per partnership agreement, generally 15-17 pts or 16-18 pts.
