Is the use of Micheals Cue bid limited 2 the first overbid on an opponents opening bid or can it be used more broadly. Also has any1 got a link 2 Michaels and its variations.

Around here, it seems like a lot of people play it as min/max - i.e <12 or >16.
Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.

Most would play (1H)-P-(1N)-2H as Michaels, I think.
Most would play (1C)-P-(1H)-2H as natural.
Some who play Michaels in direct seat, do not in balancing seat, preferring to leave (1H)-P-(P)-2H to show a very strong takeout.
I think an official Michaels would only apply to a cue-bid of their opening bid in direct seat, but that the principle has been extended to cover other auctions. Best to discuss these things with partner rather than relying upon general consensus.
