I think he means after a member of our partnership has limited his strength using a notrump bid. This is most commonly a 1NT response to 1m, but generally does not include a (semi) forcing 1NT in response to 1M. At least this is the use of "notrump" in the set of rules I use, adopted from Ken Gee and Barry Harper.

I still don't believe he intended that auction. Are you sure he didn't mean notrump OPENING bids?

perhaps you're right.. he does say, for the 'N', "after a NT bid" ... but the only example he gives is of a NT opening... so he says "bid", not "opening," but his example is of an opening... he also says that this is not a matter of right or wrong, as long as a p'ship agrees and then has some way to remember their agreements

  • Interests:My personal interests are my family and my friends. I am extremely concerned about the lives and futures of the kids (and their families) that I work with. I care about the friends I have made on BBO. Also, I am extremely concerned about the environment/ ecology/ wildlife/ the little planet that we call Earth. How much more of the world's habitat and food supply for animals do we plan on destroying. How many more wetlands are we going to drain, fill, and build on? How many more sand dunes are we going to knock down in the interests of high-rise hotels or luxury homes?
