mr1303 Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Sounds right. If 2NT is undiscussed then it seems dangerous. 3D looks right at whatever strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwhiz Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 A lot depends on your agreed meaning for the double. If you have no agreement it's a complete crapshoot. Mine shows a strong notrump. You can deviate buy a point or 3 (on the plus side) but you have no short suits (unless you do with a high honour or 4-4-4-1 shape). I can bid front of card as if we opened 1nt with this and bid 2nt, lebensohl into 3♦ (most likely) or 3♦ forcing if I'm in a gambling mood.

Jinksy Posted January 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 The double is a standard penalty double of a weak NT: roughly 14+, no shape requirements, no upper limit. Restricting it to being a strong NT is not something I've ever heard of before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lycier Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Can you tell us what's the meanings of 2♥? 1- if 2♥ is a natural bid without forcing , my plan is double at first, let pd pick up a minor, if pd respondes 2♠, I would rebid 3♣, pd will pass or correct to 3♦, sign off. 2- if 2♥ is to ask pd to transfer to 2♠, I would bid 2N at first,then rebid 3♦, sign off.
