Weak NT ------- After X - pass of immediate natural 2m is forcing - double of 2m is penalties - pass of immediate natural 2M is non-forcing - double of 2M is takeout - first-chance bids are analogous to, 1NT (2M) ??. That is TRFs from 2NT ['transfer-influenced'] - doubling an artificial escape that we do not expect them to play (ex. TRF) shows values - doubling an either-or escape is as 2m/2M split above (ex. 2D = D+H, X = penalties of diams) If advancer establishes values then subsequent doubles are penalty A double of an artificial 2C/D/H/S/NT shows a good hand (15+) - pass is non-forcing - double is takeout - first-chance bids are transfer-influenced as above 3-level bids are intermediate Strong NT --------- After X - pass is non-forcing - double is takeout - after 3rd hand's pass (or strong XX) 2C is a scramble - first-chance bids are transfer-influenced A double of an artificial 2C/D/H/S shows the suit named 3-level bids are disruptive Over weak or strong ------------------- 2C is Landy, 5-4 major either longer - 2D for longer major {then 2S = mild try, 3m = Nat INV} - after X; Pass/2D natural, XX for longer major 2NT is 2-suited {responses?} Passed Hand ----------- - X is 4S and 5-other suit - 2C still both majors is 5S/4H or 5/5
