Echognome Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Just curious why your preference is to NOT play Lebensohl. I can understand wanting to play Rubensohl or some other form of transfer Lebensohl, but don't understand why one would prefer to play no form of Lebensohl. I guess the only reason I can think of is tending to forget the convention or continuations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play Capp Stolen etc. My P did not want to play Lebensohl, so it fell by the wayside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a vital convention and one of the more important ones. But don't take my word for it. I would suggest you look into it or at least speak about it with better players. Or maybe post a poll on these forums to see what they think. I think most would consider Stolen bid doubles to be inferior, with the one exception of a 2♣ overcall.

You didn't read his first post closely enough, I'm sure he made it very clear that he is already an excellent player and has no need for such advice. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
