There are two types of original game demand bids, in the one over one system-the original suit bid of two and the original suit bid of threr.

An original forcing bid in the one over one system is used to in- dicate a hand that will go game regardless of the fact that your partner's hand may be trickless. It is not necessary to open with a forcing bid unless you have this powerful hand.
You can open with any of the one bids, which show a very good hand, and partner will keep the bidding open if he has, any sem- blance of a trick. Use your orig- inal forcing bids to indicate to
