opening 1♦ (Spread) 4+♠ 0-3 ♥ 9-14 point or 1 ♥ (Moscito )4+♠ 9-14 point

the Dozen of gadget to bid after 1NT are Gadget most of them are more limiting your possibilty many player use Double on weak NT showing a number of HPC some sacrifice the 2♣ overcall for landy and you still have 3 natural overcall

LOL i see the title look like a joke Advancing overcall is a very interesting topic and i didn't find much on the subject. I like your natural aproch to biding there are dozen of convention for defense biding over 1 NT and you use a normal overcall when I make a desiciom to Make an overcall is not a decision bass on point but on loser and winnner ♣QJT9876 ♦XX ♥XX ♠XX I HAVE 3 POINT AND 8 LOSER ! THIS AN extrem hand but biding 2♣ not Vulnerable againts any 1 level opening is a good move so before raising partner the question isnt how many point i have how many trick i can add to partner overcall . I found in the book of BO Yin Yang his idea on advencing overcall the general idea is some of the bid of Advencer are transfer to the next in the sequence 1 ♦ 1♥ pass 1 ♠ natural spade 1NT natural no fit 2♣ natural 2♦ transfer to 2 ♥ 2♥ heart support 2♠+ very good suit and ♥ suport

2NT transfer to club then 3 NT this is my choice after founding this sugestion • Vs. nat 2 M : 2♠( oM ) nat, 5+♠. 2 N 3m overcall (usually 6m, not 4 oM ) or str 3 oM overcall. 3m oM +m. Over (2♥) this is usually restricted to 4♠, but over (2♠) could have 4 or 5 ♥. 3 oM nat, 1-suited (6+ oM ), not very strong. 3M Strongest takeout, usually 4 oM . 3 N Gambling, does not promise a stopper. 4m Leaping Michaels, fg due to 3m. the play in any contract will be hard spade are most likly to be 00 PASS is my second choice Michel

I dont play levesohl mo reversed lebensohl I do play bridge ! :P I Did use the Rubensohl convetion in the past ... one time even finding a SLAM in Heart in F2F international Team event .... Michel

i will post the other side in a week

Back to subject Statistics Next to the 'good feeling' at the bridge table, inspired by the fact that you can handle all situations with MUTOS, but also because you will be remembered as the annoying opponent but who alerts everything in a correct way and explains everything , there is also the more scientific, statistical argumentation that explains why MUTOS is an improvement, an evolution. ƒ In MUTOS you bid all hands from 16hp with 1♣ . This is creating simplicity : you only need to manage one opening for all these hands. Coverage : 10% of all possible hands or 25% of opening-hands. ƒ All hands between 12-15 hp are opened with either 1♦ ( 8%), 1♥ ( 9%) or 1♠ ( 8.7%). This groups 26% of all possible hands. ƒ The "gain" in MUTOS is that you enter the auction with much more weak hands based on distribution strengths. 17,2 % compared with 2,6% for multi 2♦ and 6% for Muiderberg. ƒ Do not be surprised that often you must pass : in 45% of the cases you are too weak or you do not have the proper distribution to open. In traditional systems this percentage is 53 % ! more information on Mutos on the link https://bridge-tips.co.il/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/MutosEnglish.pdf Michel

moving her my anser about standart from thread on probality of opening Paul Marston write in the end of his note on Moscito 2005 " I developed a relay system that I played with Malcolm Sims in the New Zealand team in the late 70s. Around this time I approached Roy Kerr about solving the relay problem. He put his considerable weight into the project and came up with symmetric relay, which remains the engine of our relay approach. Around 1980 Sims and I adopted a forcing pass style. " In the 15 years that have followed, the system has gone through radical change and many people have made contributions. They include Richard Willey, Bob Richman and Matthew Thomson.

looking at moscito 2005 note of Paul Marston . I must admit i am wrong the subject is of topic and will be answered in the thread Moscito no natural system Michel

maybe i don't understand what is standard. Moscito was a system devloped around a kind of relay and forcing pass system . Major oriented Strong Club

I just got note of Lukasz slawinski on Lead in defense Hard to read and harder to understand : "an integral part of bridge is competition in the development of biding system's the opprtunity for inventing and testing of biding and convention is one of the main atraction of bridge there should be no restriction on biding system and conventions / at tournaments and congresses " Lukasz slawinski Michel
