Michaels Cuebids and Unusual Notrump Overcalls are conventions used to describe hands with two long suits after an opponent opens. A Michaels Cuebid is a direct cuebid of the opponent's opened suit, showing 5+-card length in two other suits, with one suit always being a major. An Unusual 2NT is a direct jump to 2NT over an opponent's opening bid, showing the two lowest-ranking unbid suits. These conventions are used to show good suits and distributional values, but don't necessarily promise high-card strength. They can be used with stronger hands to force partner to choose one of the suits. The strength requirements for these conventions are generally preemptive, showing good suits and distributional values, but not necessarily high-card strength. Responding bids to Michaels Cuebids and Unusual 2NT overcalls are artificial, and partner cannot pass if RHO passes. The level of the responding bid depends on strength and trump support. These conventions can also be used in other types of auctions, such as balancing or overcalling at higher levels.
