1C-(P)-1H-(P)
2H-X- ??

X = short H, likely purish 4S , 4D, 4 C, values for 3 level. We play 2N in a nocomp auction to ask range/cards, but should it be on here? If not on, what is 2N? What is XX? What is 3D or 2S?

Regards and Happy Trails,

I like simple agreements: system on, xx = let's try to get them (supposedly 4 decent spades).

Sigh and dang it, seemed like a legit question (came up yesterday) and a better idea than hijacking your thread....

I think you are complicating your life if you try to change your agreements when there is a double here. So I would expect 2N and 3x to be the same as if there wasn't a double.

XX is they stepped in it, which is sometimes the case with pre-balancers that attend a Larry Cohen seminar. You can play penalty or 2-3 doubles after that.

the x by opps have given you another bid to make take advantage of it.

PASS followed by x invitational hand 4 hearts unsure where to go
PASS followed by 3h Invitational 11 (at least 5 hearts) a bit stronger than direct 3h
3h competitive 9-10 (at least 5 hearts) and no desire to penalize opps
2h your normal system with a hand that does not fit any of the above.
xx GF either a strong desire to x opps or some other GF hand.
