Muiderberg convention

[VikingMags]

1st seat, NONE VUL, MP

 

2♥* - (P) - P - (2♠)

P     - (P) - 2NT?

 

 

*5♥ and a 4+ minor 5-10

 

Agreements we have:

In direct 2NT is forcing and asking minor/strenght, 3♣ ask to pass or correct with ♦, 3♦ invites 4♥

Direct over 2♠ interference 3♣/♦ own suit, 2NT asking minor, X penalty.

 

This situation we haven't discussed.

What does 2NT mean?

[Hanoi5]

Bid your minor, I think. 2NT is a contract which should not be played under many circumstances.

[helene_t]

Yes, bid you minor.

[Poky]

What does 2NT mean?

It is a choice between opener's and responder's minor. Usually a 32(63) hand.

Opener should bid his shorter minor with 25(42), if he has enough confidence in partner. :)

3♣ would have been pass/correct (not making much sense, after 2♥ was passed).

What does 2NT mean?

Hmmm!!!! Possibly a request to be doubled by the opps? :) Actually the only thing that half way makes sense to me is a hand with 3♥ and a 4-5 card minor looking for a 9 card fit and playing 3♥ if no minor fit is found? Obviously assumes some appropriate level of values.

A good sense of humour might be required. Such an agreement would insta-propel me into a 3-2 fit. :)

I'd rather think 2NT just asks the minor, while 3m is showing a suit of his own... KISS

What does 2NT mean?

Partner is acting the same as if 2♠ was bid in front of him . . . although at a later stage.

So, 2♥, (2♠), 2NT = asking for the minor should be the same as:

2♥, (Pass), Pass, (2♠)

Pass, (Pass), 2NT = asking for the minor

Partner want to push the opps to the 3-level . . . wants to see if 3m or 3M is the best to do so . . . 2NT is definitely not to play.

If partner would have bid 2NT with the intention to play and make it, he should have rather doubled for a better score.
