Help
In SAYC.
1D - 2NT is natural inviting, and good 11-bad 13. Yes?
And after it. If opener is minimum she can surely pass.
But what is it if she rebids?
1D - 2NT, 3D?

Cats bring joy and a feeling of harmony and well-being into a home.
Many homeless cats seek a home.
Adopt one. Contact a cat shelter!
You too can be an everyday hero. :)

According to the ACBL SAYC Booklet the 2NT response to 1♣/1♦ shows a balanced 13-15 HCP and is game forcing.

Hi,
assuming, you play 2NT over 1D as bal. with
inv. strength, denying a 4 card mayor and a
6 card clubs suit, which is not SAYC, but fairly
standard:
If opener rebids his suit, this simply shows
a min. opener with no interest in game at all.
Responder did describe his hand fairly complete
and is it up to opener to place the contract.
Opener knows, that responder will have at least
2 cards in diaomond and most of the time responder
will look at 3 or 4 cards in diamonds.
With kind regards
Marlowe

Oh, thanks both for your good answers.
Ah, much common but not SAYC official standard? Well, dispyte nr 2 thereby also decided. (Sorry Pard nr 2!).

Just to confuse the issue.
Mike Lawrence in his conventions CD recommends that the only non-forcing bid after 1m pass 2NT is pass.
In other words 1D 2NT 3D is forcing.

Not unreasonable, particularly at matchpoints.

I have come to realise it is futile to expect or hope a regular club game will be run in accordance with the laws. -- Jillybean

Not the usual treatment, where I play, which isn't to say it's bad.

What is Lawrence's recommendation regarding opening 1m? Will he do it with a distributional (e.g. 1-2=6-4) 10-11 HCP, or does he recommend opening 2♦ or 3♣ with these? If you can open these 1m, then you need to be able to pull 2NT, because the majors are likely to be wide open. But 11 opposite 11 is not generally enough for any game, so you have to be able to stop.
But if you need a full 12-13 HCP to open in a minor, this is less likely to be a problem, and then opener's rebid can be treated as forcing.
