Z-T bids this....

 

1C-1D 16+, 0-7

1N-2C 17-19, puppet stayman

2D-2S no 5M, 4H

2N-3N minimum, game

[awm]

I'm sure that I would bid 2♣ as East over 1♣-Pass-1♦ (negative). Interesting that this didn't happen.

 

Assuming no competition:

 

1♣ (16+) - 1♠ (balanced or diamonds)

1N (17-19) - 2♥ (inv 4♥ and 5+♦ NF)

3♣ (values) - 3NT (spade help)

 

The south hand upgrades a bit with the knowledge of the big diamond fit. The 3♣ values call helps to reach 5♦ if north has short spades (say x Qxxx KJxxx xxx).

[benlessard]

Good hand for my system.

 

1C--1D (strong, H or pts)

1NT--2C (17-18 denies 4H, 2C D transfer)

2H-- (supper accept) --- 3NT.

Silent Cub:

 

2♦-2N diamonds and a major, weak (3-8ish); invitational ask

3♥-3N hearts and decent values; signoff

[yunling]

Ashamed that I can not reach the game :)

1♣(15+nat/bal,21+any)-1♠(bal w/o 4♠, or ♦, or 4♥-5+♦, or 3 suiter short ♠, about 6-12)

1NT(15-17)-2♣(stayman)

2♦-P

[akhare]

Meckwell-Lite:

 

1♣ - 1♦ (16; 0-7)

1N - 3♣ (17+ - 18; Puppet Stayman)

3N

 

Note that this system uses a 19-20 2N and 1N is 15-17- in third seat. At this vulnerability, better 17 counts routinely open 1C (same for better 16 balanced in first and second, playing a 14-16 range).

Pet two-way pass:

 

pass 1♣

1NT 2♣

2♦ pass

 

pass = 0-8 or 15+

1♣ = 0-8 or 15+

1NT = natural 15-17 (5M ok)

2♣ = 5-card non forcing stayman

2♦ = no 4 or 5M

 

I would not reach game.

C3: Copious Canape Club

 

1♣ - 1♦ -

1NT (17-19) - all pass

[Lord Molyb]

North opens in my system.

 

1♦ - 1NT

2♥- 3NT

P

 

1♦ = 0-10, 4+ diamonds

1NT = asks

2♥ = 7-10, 5+♦, 4+♥

3NT = Most likely game.

SNT opening for Polish clubbers.

Sorry failed with the formatting see next post

[jack502]

Hi jack502 is back soon new jack 610 hopefully but supplier is out of stock.

 

1♣ 1♥(semi positive) 1nt (17-18) 2nt (limit) 3nt.

This looks like a hand evaluation problem for any with 17/18 as their boundary point. If the South hand is 17 then

 

P - 1♣ = 15-17 nat/bal or 18+ any

... - 1♦ = most non-GF hands

1NT = 15-17 bal (or 4414)

... - 2♣ = Puppet Stayman

2♦ = no 5 card major

 

If 18 then

 

P - 1♣ = 15-17 nat/bal or 18+ any

... - 1♦ = most non-GF hands

1♥ = 18-20 any or 23+ bal

... - 1♠ = most hands

1NT = 18-20 bal

... - 2♣ = Puppet Stayman

2♦ = no 5 card major

... - 2♠ = 4 hearts (N could show 4M5+♦ instead but hand is a little weak for that)

2NT = min, <4 hearts

... - 3NT

 

I think I prefer the first auction since KJ tight is enough to offset the other positive features enough not to upgrade.
