North starts with a double and then we run into the eternal BBF discussion about whether 2♦ by South shows reverse strength or not. In Acol Land I think it doesn't (by default) so I bid 2♥. And now the next question: is this a game force or not? If not, North probably has to bid 3NT. Which I think South should pass.

 

If South's cuebid is a gf (or if Lebensohl applies here, but .....), North can bid 3♣ and now South is headed for slam.

north is enlightened, so bids 1s, and does not x. sth 2d rev, nth 2nt, 3s, 3nt.

Interesting, we'd bid 1N on the north hand south bids 2♦ and we'd either reach 3N or 5♣ depending on subsequent choices.

Are you interested in how I bid it?

 

double(4+♠)-1♠ (3 spades, forcing)

1NT-2♦

3♣

 

I would probably end up in 3NT as everyone else.

 

In natural methods:

 

1♠-2♦

3NT-pass

[whereagles]

Seems textbookish to me:

 

1♣ (1♥) dbl

3♦ 3NT

 

Note: 3♦ is NF, showing a good 14 to 17 H

[wanoff]

Also textbook but a different one.

 

1♣-(1♥)-dbl-(p)

2♦-(p)-2NT-(p)

3♣-(p)-3NT

 

Responder has promised at least a void in diamonds so 2♦ is a reverse.

I presume responders 'ratshit' bid should be 2♠ so 2NT is FG.
