BunnyGo Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Playing a strong NT 2/1 structure, red vs. white: (P)-1C-(1S)-X(2S)-P-(P)-X(P)-2N What's 2N? Does it change white vs. red? If playing a weak NT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwery_hi Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 a 3-3-3-4 weak NT. I have no experience playing a weak NT, but would be scrambling I'd think.

gnasher Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Either xx34 or xx45. Playing a weak notrump, it will always be the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statto Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Is it not a near minimum hand with good ♠ stops, inviting 3NT? Maybe that hand might pass 2♠X, but red v white? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that hand might pass 2♠X, but red v white?Even if that were better at this vulnerability, I think for us mere mortals it would make life too complicated to make this sort of thing dependent on vulnerability.

the hog Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Is it not a near minimum hand with good ♠ stops, inviting 3NT? Maybe that hand might pass 2♠X, but red v white? No it is not. It is a scrambling 2NT showing xx34 or xx45 as Andy posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunnyGo Posted March 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 So a followup question: If playing weak NT, does the strong (16ish) NT hand have to bid one of 3NT, cuebid 3♠ for a stopper ask, or pass? (if unable to bid hearts naturally due to lack of hearts) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
