- There has been much discusion about this hand and
- certainly quite a wide range of opinions, to say the least.
-
- Changing the topic slightly,
- does anyone use a Lebensohl-type bid in this sequence?
-
- By this I mean, after (1M) - X - (2M) - 2N,
- where 2N is a transfer to 3C, the start of a Lebensohl sequence.
- What you lose is the ability to bid a natural 2N,
- but how often will this come up?
-
- On this hand it would have been useful,
- but is it practical to play it this way?
