inquiry Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 What ever I play against strong notrump, I always end up with a had where I wish I had something else. I am currently using.. DBL = minor one suiter, or major two suiter 2C = clubs and a higher suit 2D = diamonds and a higher suit 2H = hearts 2S = spades. I have been looking at: DBL = any two or three suiter, 2C = clubs 2D = diamonds 2H = hearts 2S = spades. Seems a little radical, but, over double, you partner bids reasonable 3 card suits up the line until you find a fit, and after 2D overcall for instance, he knows what to lead (diamonds) whereas if you bid, say 2C to show one suiter or double to show one suiter, he may have to guess what you suit is if they bid on. I also like woolsey, so I will have to look at this jello... my favorite flavor? I don't like jello to eat, so have none... Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luis Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 I like flexo-Wolsey :-) 2c = Majors2d = 6 card major2h = hearts and a minor2s = spades and a minordbl = Multi a) 5m and 4M B) One suited in a minor c) Both minors (can be 5/4) Continuations after dbl are simple2c = correct without 5 clubs. 2d = Asking bid (relay bah)2h = suit, looking for a fit2s = suit, looking for a fit2n = Bid your 5+ minor please.

keylime Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 I admit it, I'm plain jane. I use Meckwell (close to Ben's there): X=minor one suiter OR both majors2C=clubs and side major2D=diamonds and side major2H/S=natural2NT=minor two suiter3X=preemptive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke warm Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 not sure what this one is named, but i like it AND it's fun to play: dbl = clubs and diamonds OR diamonds only OR pointed OR rounded (that's by far the toughest, it gets easier)2C = diamonds and hearts OR hearts only2D = majors OR spades only2H = spades and clubs OR clubs only2S = 3 suited with spades2nt = 3 suited without spades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrTodd13 Posted December 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 Ugh! Mini-roman was bad enough but advertising3-suitedness at 2S and 2N with RHO having a bighand seems like a recipe for disaster. Oh...while I have never got anyone to play it with me,I still want to try inverted psycho-suction. 2C = minors or hearts2D = reds or spades2H = majors or clubs2S = blacks or diamonds2N = non-touching Going along with my "why am I doubling 1N for penalties kick,"maybe X could be used for non-touching. On a general note, how effect have people found conventionsbased on the guessing principle to be? Inverted psycho suctionuses the principle that the hand patterns are so different thatresponder can very often guess which hand overcaller has.

kfgauss Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 My current preference is the option between Ben's two suggestions: X = clubs or 2-suited w/o clubs2C = clubs + higher2D/H/S = natural (after X, advancer bids 2C, then pass or correct to your lowest suit -- it's just DONT but with the immediate and delayed 2D/H/S swapped) This has the advantage of immediately naming the suit for diamonds, but without being quite as "radical" as Ben's second suggestion (which is, nonetheless, quite interesting). How about defenses to weak NT? I've never been able to find one of those that suited me. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 My favorites arex = 5+D & 4M or both M2C = 5+C 4+other2D = single suited M2H/S = 5+H/S 4+m After x, 2C shows unequal length in majors (or 4+4+), 2D is pass/correct with equal length majors or if you prefer x is penalty2C = single suited H or 4H & 5+ other2D = as above for S2H/S = 5H/S 4+m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
