hotShot Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 I'm sure there are a lot of good reasons for not playing 2NT as 18-19 bal. But that's the system you agreed to play and then you have to stick to it. If you suddenly realize that the system sucks and it would be better to play 2NT as some artificial bid so that the 18-19 bal would have to fake some other bid (or open 1NT or 2♦ or whatever) then please save that discussion for the system discussion session. Don't invent new systems at the table. Well said! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Well, in several of my partnerships, 2NT by opener here shows heart support (4+) and strong game try or even game forcing. In those partnerships I can not bid 2NT. Playing 2/1 without that 2NT agreement, then I would bid 2NT with this hand. When playing the 2NT bid as forcing raise of responders major, then I will bid 1♠ with this hand. I would never jump to 2♠, as that would promise 5+♣'s which I seem to lack, as well as spades.
