Thank you ,Hannie and Kalvan. The purpose that I post the "Wrangler" here is not to replace any other present similar conventions. Just telling you, I'll use it at some time. Seldom, a new designed convention is suitable for any players,especially for other experts players or WC players. And now,I have not make the details for this convention.Perhaps I need a poll about it. As you have pointed,"The aim of an overcall is disturbing the opponents' auction, and ideally push them toward a wrong contract ";if you do sth like a blind,it'll be more dangerous. Of course,how high is risk is the everyday job to a good bridge player.is it?

Thank you very much,Free.Thank you for your detail proposals. IMO,the main advantages of Wrangler over other method are: (1),naturally understandable,needs little of memory; (2),almost any hand shape would be well descriptive; (3),"suitable HCPs" would be alterable for special NT ranges; (4),avoid to be very afflictive to defense 1NT with some shape and strength. As mentioning "offense",there are many alternatives according to the aggressiver's will and her/his hand. You know,there is an advancer there! With "CRASH",there are 4 2-suiters to indirect description.but all of other shapes(4 one-suiters, 2 2-suters and 4 3-suiters;and balanced hands) can be direct showed. If it were a loss,it would be a light one. If you have enough HCPs,good shape hands and good fit,there always are games.Game is not dependent to "majors". As I know,when opps open 1NT(especial strong NT),the competitor seldom have a game.AT most,there is a part contract, only for good competitors.

IMO,the 2 suiter is most based on equivalent,in the length and strength of both suits.Otherwise, I think it's better to regard as one suit,then another if there is another chance. Or the further modification for un-equivalent 2 suiter or only one suiter hand is: [(1NT) 2D:one suit of major,or a better major with another suit; 2S:one suit of minor,or a better minor with another suit;

2C in SAYC-based system; 1D in strong Diamond system;

How about this modification on 5-5 major-minor 2 suiter? [(1NT) 2♦:one suit of major or better major with another minor; 2♠:one suit minor or better minor with another major; Thank you in advance!

Very good question! TY. IMO,you can deal it with as one better suit,then rebid another. Or some good proposals on this part,please.

[(1NT)/2♦/(pass)/?] pass:good suit to replace PD's major with weak hand; 2♥:trial for P/C with weak hand; 2♠:good suit with weak hand; 2NT:good hand; [(1NT)/2♠/(pass)/?] pass:good suit to replace PD's major with weak hand; 3♣:trial for P/C with weak hand; 3♦:good suit with weak hand; 2NT:good hand;

After balanced 1NT,there is a new designed convention,called as Wrangler.How about it? Welcome for any opinions,Thank you in advance. [(1NT) balanced hand,weak or strong; ? 2♣:both minor suits with equivalent 5/4 or above,suitable HCPs; 2♦:one major suit with 6cards or above,suitable HCPs; 2♥:both major suits with equivalent 5/4 or above,suitable HCPs; 2♠:one minor suit with 6cards or above,suitable HCPs; 2NT:one weak suit with 7cards or above;Or strong balanced hand,similar to Comic NT; dbl:very stong hand with any shape; 3Y:three suiter hand with enough HCPs,Y is the short; 4Y/5Y:rapidly preempts with necessary If the responder passes,the advancer can select their fit by P/C after 2♣/2♥; Or try the lower suit,then decide by her/his PD after 2♦/2♠/3♣;Or natural bid.As below: [(1NT)/2♣/pass/?] pass:weak; raise:support with suitable HCPs; 2♦:select ♦ with weak hand; 3/4/5♦:select ♦ with suitable HCPs; others:natural with suitable HCPs; [(1NT)/2♥/pass/?] is similar to above; (To be continued)

A good ad video for both bridge and cellphone. Even a good site!

If [1x-1NT][2y-3Z] indicates that the responder has a good suit just under 2o1 GF,this 5D would be not too difficult to arrive.

The best is forcing pass here,IMO.

Thank you very much.

Too big stress to play bridge for us.IMO,the most important for bridge is environment, a friendly and easier environment.

They know nothing about a monster!

1S,then pass 1NT rebid. No more reasons.

There are lots of types of 1NT opening ranges of HCP.On the strong 1NT,the HCP range usually was 16~18hcps some time ago; Now,the commonly used is 15~17hcps; Perhaps it would be 14~16hcps one day.

IMO,the best is 1D then 2C: 1,1D open is better than 1C or 1NT,because of the 4card Diamonds and single Heart; 2,2C rebid is better than 1NT(too strong to simple rebid) or 2NT(there are more cases from PD)

As I can remember,there is a very good(IMO) mixture with MSS and 4-xfer in the SAYC: [1NT-2S] MSS; [1NT-2NT] Xfer to 3C; [1NT-3C] Xfer to 3D;

pass,otherwise I'd have bid aggressive 2C earlier! Excepting I'm not at the table.

Thank you,Echognome. I think you and I have lots of same considerations on the system,although some different. 1,My system is a variant of Polish Club System as I've indicated;So the "entire 2-level" openings and other sequences are similar to it; 2,1C opening prefers to Diamonds or preparation,but 2C prefers to Clubs; 3,The 15~17hcp balanced 1NT is typical;othe balanced hands opening are similar to yous; 4,Your [1D-1H] negative response may "wrong-side" a Heart slam/game contract; Also,I'll think youdikha has sent this email from http:forums.bridgebase.com/index.php. "1C 10 - 16, 2 honor in suit 4 card minor 1H/ 1S 10 - 16, 2 honor in suit 5 card" I've considered a partial light opening with 10~11hcp under good positions and suitable vulnerability.And I would name this system PD-Based System after Polish Club.Perhaps you have more good ideas.It will be appreciation if you promoted them out.

Assistant leading Heart 6 or 7!

It's not easy to assemble a system,here is mine.More suggestions, please!Thank you very much in advance! General Openings & responses: [1C:10/12~16hcps,no 5card major,no 6card Club,any Diamond; (-)/? 1D/M:natural;7~11hcps 1NT:natural;7~9hcps 2C:inverted minor raise,good hands for further biddings;10~11hcp with good Clubs;others with 12hcp+; 2D/M:preempts;4~9hcp with one good suit; 2NT:10~11hcps balanced; ...

It's not easy to assemble a system,here is mine.More suggestions, please!Thank you very much in advance! (Continued) [2D:4~11hcp,euivalent both majors,Similar to Polish 2D; (-)/? 2M/3M:Pass or Correct; 2NT:relay,... 3C:GF,one suiter hand; ...

IMO,Correct cue-bid sequence is the key to game or slam.

A very good basic opeing structure.
