gwnn Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Do SAYC and 2/1GF assume some form of checkback Stayman? If so, the inclusion of some of the shapes is a little puzzling.The idea goes that sometimes it is right to raise because 2M is better than 1N (when partner has less than checkback strength). I am not an adherent of this idea, but I admit that there are (is a significant number of) hands where it works. In fact the litmus test of raising on 3 is especially (but not exclusively) at partscore level because that's where we have the least amount of room to decide on our best contract.
