(1m) - P - (1NT) - P - (P) - ?? Personally, I play: X = penalty, stacked in their minor 2♣ = takeout of their minor 2♦ = majors This is the same whichever minor they opened. (So, I bid 2♣ on your first hand). After (1m) - P - (1NT) - P - (2m) - ?? I think double is takeout. (The 'penalty' interpretation seems misguided to me). The likes of 1♣-1NT-2♣ guarantees a fit for them, so the takeout meaning is a lot more sensible. Something like J10xx A98x K9xx x can't double on the first round, but can balance with X in this auction. Jus

Does anybody have a good set of continuations after the likes of 1M-2m-2NT in an SAYC based system? Do tell.
