interference handling after inverted minor

[Free]

How do you handle interference after inverted minor? What is Dbl, pass, 2NT, 3m and other bids?

 

1m-pass-2m-2X

...

 

Is there any difference if opps intervene at 3-level?

 

EDIT: inverted minor shows 10+HCP (so not GF)

X is penalty, pass is forcing but generally some minimum. 3m is non forcing but shows extra offense, often in the way of a fifth trump. 2N to me is forcing and should have a solid stopper, and I would assume usually 1.5 stoppers.

 

If they bid at the 3 level a pass is non forcing so a double would just show extra values and often be geared towards getting to 3N or getting some other relevant info from partner, or perhaps having partner pass with the right hand. I would not make this double with a stiff if I could avoid it. 4m would be non forcing but would show significant extra offense.

With most parts I agree with Justin, but as we play inv. minor as game forcing, any pass is forcing.

Hi,

 

 

Assuming 2m showes inv.+:

 

Standard is, that 2m generates FP, if there intervention is below 3m,

if they intervene above 3m, Pass would be for most nonforcin, this is

basically the same, what Justin said.

Except, that pass over a 3C overcall after a 1D opening would also be

forcing.

 

Given that 2m showes inv.+ you could say that any pass is forcing, which

is playable as long as the your openings are not light.

The adv. being - it is a simple rule, the disadv. being you may play 3Mx=.

That is our current agreement, modification is pending, but it did not yet

hurt us deeply, the problematic seq. are very rare.

 

With kind regards
