Fluffy Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 so it finally happened, we bid 1♦-1♠-2♥-3♦-pass with 10 tricks in NT I am used of playin 2NT weak (forcing 3♣ to pass or correct) and 2♠ f1, with 3 level being GF, but I wonder if it is best in a limited to 15 context.

mgoetze Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 I don't see why you suddenly wouldn't want to play Lebensohl just because you're playing precision. The point is that responder gets both a forcing and a nonforcing 3♦ bid, and since responder is unlimited in precision just as in standard, it still seems very useful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandakh Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 I would recommend transfers here even more in a Precision context than Standard. Second choice would be Lebensohl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32519 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 When I was still playing Precision, after 1♦, 1♥, 1♠ a jump bid or a reverse bid second time round by opener promised 14-15 HCP, close to a maximum for the limited opening. The idea was to enable partner to better judge the final spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's best reserved for hands with extra playing strength rather than just a point count description. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's best reserved for hands with extra playing strength rather than just a point count description.If a 1/1 or 1NT response generally promise 8+ HCP, then a reverse could be made with a good 14+, however extra distribution & playing strength would be required for a jump rebid.
