Do you play a weak NT?

I would like to gather the bbo user names of some players who play the weak NT and review them using myhands or bridgebrowser. If your playing a weak NT pipe up now!

 

Alternatively if people would like to post interesting weak nt hands, that'd be great.

Hi Jon:

 

Is that the new baby? He's precious/ Mazel Tov.

 

Your post or question is rather vague. Not sure what you're looking for or where you would like to go with this.

But, I learned bridge playing weak NT's (K-S, etc.) and fwiw, really don't like some of the inherent liabilities of strong NTs. Hence, my real preferred 1NT opening range is 13-16.

I once played kamikaze (9-12) in a midnight swiss about 37 years ago but there are positives and negative to that, too.

 

You said to "pipe-up". So, for a friend, I "pipe".

I play a weak NT with slvrrose. Our hands may or may not be interesting to you, since we also play a non-standard system over 1NT openings.

 

You also don't specify how you'll find the hands which are affected by a weak NT. Let me suggest that you especially look for auctions like 1m-1M;2M. These are the biggest constructive gains of the weak NT; most everything else is either symmetric with the strong NT or preemptive (Speaking of preemptive, 1N-AP and 1N-(2x)-dbl) are great examples of that aspect).

Most people I know either play weak NT with 4 card majors or strong NT with 5 card majors.. so you may well be comparing two different systems rather than just two different NT ranges.

 

I have played both these systems for many years - is there anything specific you are interested in?
