Notes when East is Dealer:
  1. P0, P1: 5-card suit, 10 HCP, 9 cards in two longest suits.
  2. P4, P1, P3: 6-card suit, 12 HCP, 9 cards in two longest suits.
  3. P5: The 1NT response promises 8-16 HCP and no other available bid — i.e. the 'dustbin' bid. A 1NT responding hand always has less than 4-card support for opener's suit.
  4. 0-7 HCP and less than 3-card support for partner's suit.
  5. P7: East has a 4-card suit biddable at the 2-level.
  6. P6: Six-card suit originally opened at the 1-level.
  7. After a 1NT response, 3 of partner's suit promises three cards and 10-13 HCP.
  8. Promises 7 HCP and 2-card support. (With one more point or one more card in partner's suit, he would have been able to make a first-round bid or double.)

Notes when South is Dealer:
  1. P4, P1, P3: 6-card suit, 12 HCP, 9 cards in two longest suits.
  2. P8, P5. Note West does not have a spade stopper but still bids 1NT.
  3. 0-7 HCP and less than 3-card support for partner's suit.
  4. P9: East cannot immediately bid 2♥ because of P2, so he employs one of Simplex's few conventions, which requires partner to bid his cheapest 3-card suit if the opponents do not interfere. East will bid 3♥ on the next round because he has 5 hearts and 10-13 HCP.
  5. P6. Six-card suit originally opened at the 1-level.
  6. Because South has overcalled East's 2♣ request, the 1NT opener passes to hear more about East's hand.
  7. North still has nothing to say; he knows he and South have eight spades between them, so the 2-level is high enough.
  8. East makes his intended bid.
  9. Promises 7 HCP and 2-card support. (With one more point or one more card in partner's suit, he would have been able to make a first-round bid or double.)

Notes when West is Dealer:
  1. P8. 11 HCP, no suit longer than four cards.
  2. 7 HCP and no suit longer than four cards, so no bid.
  3. P9: East cannot immediately bid 2♥ because of P2, so he employs one of Simplex's few conventions, which requires partner to bid his cheapest 3-card suit if the opponents do not interfere. East will bid 3♥ on the next round because he has 5 hearts and 10-13 HCP.
  4. P2. Six-card suit and 12 HCP.
  5. Because South has overcalled East's 2♣ request, the 1NT opener passes to hear more about East's hand.
  6. North still has nothing to say; he knows he and South have eight spades between them, so the 2-level is high enough.
  7. East makes his intended bid.
  8. Promises 7-9 HCP and 2-card support. (With one more card in partner's suit, he would have been able to make a first-round bid or double.)
