manudude03 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Here's a misunderstanding I had with my partner recently: (1NT)-P-(2D)-P(2H)-X-(P)-2NT? What is 2NT here? The auction continues (P)-3C-(P)-3D If 2NT above is scrambling, what is 3D now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mich-b Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 We play 2NT here as Scrambling , suggesting doubler should choose between Clubs and Diamonds.In that context , converting 3♣ to 3♦ does not make sense, so if we didnt discuss this sequence I would assume pd meant 2NT as Lebensohl (or Good/Bad) and wants to show a weak hand with ♦. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Seems like minors to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 So, I have 0544 and bid for the minors to find a great fit. I want to go to the third level without even knowning about an 8 card fit. (We will have fun, but maybe not more) In the meanwhile the opps with half of the deck and 9+ spades stay silent? Possible, but I doubt it. Without any agreement, I would vote for lebensohl and think that it is much more likely to compete with a two suiter and that it would be better to distigush between a weak and a strong two suiter then to show exactly a 0544 hand. (Or do you think partner risked this with 1543?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigel_k Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 I would use scrambling in a balancing auction, but here we could easily have a game. So I think 2NT should be Lebensohl and I would definitely know that for certain after 3♦. If it's a UI case then I would not bid or consider bidding over 3♦ on any hand consistent with my previous pass then double. I usually play against weak NT though and that makes the case for Lebensohl stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
