DWM Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Bidding has gone P P P 1♠2♦ 2NT What nice uses are there for 2NT in this situation? I assume that if it is passed found to the 1♠ bidder it is very rare that they will pass, so a delayed 2NT bid could show the balanced hand with diamond stop. Could Leb be played here or would it take away too much for its benafits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could Leb be played here or would it take away too much for its benafits. Playing 2NT as artficial, i.e. some kind of lebensohl certainly makes sense, altough for the given seq.it does not really matter, since I fail to find hands,which would want to go through 2NT. It makes sense for symmetry reasons, since quite oftenone plays 2NT as artificial in the seq. 1♠ - (2♦) - 2NT ... With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dank Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 P-P-P-1S-(2D)-2NT if i have the auction right. That's 10-11, maybe a crappy 12, with usually a double diamond stop. Something like ♠Jx ♥Axx ♦AQx ♣Txxxx. If you start adding too much artificiality for no reason it will only hurt your bidding. Not to mention the number of disasters you and your partner will have whenever you are in disagreement of what a bid means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
