badderzboy Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 I have been writing a document on takeout doubles and the normal repsonses to it 0-7 Suit bid at lowest level8-11 Jump bid in suit12+ Cue-bid of opening suitJump to game - ?? pre-emptive long suit weakish hand??1NT 6-9 balanced decent stop in opps suit. What should 2NT mean here? I thought about this approach but expect this is either slightly mad or already exists ( if so what's it called?) where after 1♦-DBL-p-2NT* 2NT shows a two suited hand 5/5+ with 7+HCPs with any two suits excluding openers. Partner then rebids his shortest / worst suit (if 4-4-4-1) which should determine the best fit for the partnership. You can then bid game in the other suit with weak 7-? or cue-bid etc with a stronger hand looking for slam. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker_gib Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Natural : 10-11 HCP, no 4 cards major :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 2nt natural, something between 10 and 12.Also your 1nt should be stronger then 6-9, more like 8-10.Jumps to game should imo not be weak, just a good hand with a good suit (5 cards enough i think)One hand i had problems with, is 5m 4M and about 10 hcp. last time i had this i cue bid, it seemed better then jump in either of the 2 suits i had.

Cowology Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Both 1 and 2NT should be 'natural' and deny 4CM. I tend to play my 1NT even a little stronger; 9-11 and only occasionally include a very good 8. My 2NT is then good 11 to 12 (or occasionally a very poor 13).

Chamaco Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 I assume in both case RHO will pass. In this case:- If 2NT is a jump: invitational to 3NT- If 2NT is NOT a jump = Lebensohl ---------------------------------------------------------------------More interesting to me is the case where responder bids something.Could anyone provide a list of: 1. what is supposed to be standard ?2. what you think is most effective ? Case a. New suit at 1 level1X-(Dbl)-1Y-(2NT) Case b. New suit at 2 level (non jump)1X-(Dbl)-2Y-(2NT) Case c. New suit at 2 level (weak jump)1X-(Dbl)-2Y-(2NT) Case d. New suit at 2 level (fitshowing jump)1X-(Dbl)-2Y-(2NT) Case e. Single raise1X-(Dbl)-2X-(2NT) Case f. Redouble1X-(Dbl)-Rdbl-(2NT) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
