paulg Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Multi Landy Sometime people play the double against a strong 1NT to show a 4-card major with 5-card minor - this is also known as Woolsey. Some people also play this against a weak 1NT but, personally, I would not recommend this. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 It's not even close to multi-landy, since 2M shows only 4, and 2♦ shows only 5+M instead of 6+... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 It certainly isn't multi-landy, but it is quite similar. Yesterday I was playing against a pair who played the same for their opening bids (all weak). Those crazy Dutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowerline Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Hi, we play this defence vs 1NT: Dbl= Good opening2♣= Both major2♦= 5+major2♥= 4♥, 5+minor2♠= 4♠, 5+minor2NT= Both minor Is it any name of this defence ?It is the 2♥/♠ overcalls that makes it really different from Multi-Landy. If you take Woolsey:dbl = 4major + 5minor2♣ = both majors2♦ = onesuiter major2♥ = 5♥4m2♠ = 5♠4mand you combine the 2♦/♥/♠ calls in 2♦, using the 2♥/♠ calls for the 4M5m hands, the double is available for penalty... Or if you take Vroom:dbl = ♥2♣ = ♠2♦ = both majors2♥ = 4♥ + 5minor2♠ = 4♠ + 5minorand you combine the dbl/2♣ calls in 2♦, using 2♣ for both majors, the double is again available for penalty... Maybe you can call it "Modified Vroom-Woolsey with a penalty double"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerben42 Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Yesterday I was playing against a pair who played the same for their opening bids (all weak). Those crazy Dutch. I encountered this style in a junior tournament, it was played by Norwegians. So those crazy Dutch must have gotten it from them, or indirectly from me since I reported this style to Chris Ryall's website... Sorry!
