Hand Evaluation - Q Bids

PITBULLS:

A Q bid is one of the most if not the most ambiguous bid in Bridge. The Q bid of the opponents suit must be interpreted in the context of the bidding. The level in which you make the Q bid has a bearing on how partner interprets the Q bid. If the Q bid is beyond 3NT , its meaning should be narrowed down to a fit for partner or a general strong hand & just forcing partner another round. Even this meaning is too much of a generalization as it could mean a void and pick a suit between the unbid alternatives.
