(1x) P (1y) X

[peachy]

Maybe some of the problem is the way we are playing sandwhich NT, I haven't yet met a partner

who distinguishes between S1N by a passed hand vs. unpassed hand. I like the idea of 1N by an UPH being natural, X showing a value t/o, sandwhich 1N by PH and 2N as 5+/5+

 

 

I think a common way (as far as I have seen) is to play Sandwich is more distributional with less than opening values, and takeout double an opening hand with the proper ability to play in either unbid suit. There is also 2NT available for the huge 5-5 or 6-5 etc.

I like the idea of:

 

-- 1N by an UPH being natural,

-- X showing a value t/o,

-- sandwich 1N by PH and

-- 2N as 5+/5+

 

Perfectamundo !

Using that interpretation you would be bidding 1N after (1x) and hoping your LHO bids 1y?

(1x) 1n (1y)

Or is the idea that YOU sandwich your 2 opponents bids "between" your 2 suits?

Before answering,

two questions ?

 

 

1. What has North-America to do with this ?

2. are the Cayman Islands part of North-America ?

1. What has North-America to do with this ?

 

What can this question possibly mean? The OP wants to know the "expert standard in North America". North America is an integral part of the question.
