Hi,

3H.

Playing lebensohl this should be forcing, afterall one has
2H, 2NT followed by 3H available.

Nice time to find out, if partner knows, what we are playing.

With kind regards
Marlowe

PS: I dont encounter a direct weak 2 in diamond very often, so this
remark should be taken with a grain of salt
But I also blieve in playing similiar situation similar, i.e. I would never
make a difference, if lebensohl occurs after a 1NT opening from partner
and after a weak 2 made by the opponents, which would just increase the
memory load, for a benefit, who may be too small to justify this.
With kind regards

I will bid a practical 6H. I think 3H should be forcing playing Lebensohl. 2H is weak, 2N then 3H should show an invitational hand.

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?

OK, another stupid question.

Is 2NT definitely lebensohl in this situation where my suit is higher ranking than the weak-2 bidder's suit? One would always have a simple 2H bid available for a weak hand. A lot of partnership discussion (unless a serious, long-term partnership) often doesn't get this far when discussing a convention and various nuances. I think it is reasonable for 2NT to be leb (because P doesn't know what your suit is and it permits for creating invitational sequences), but I don't know if that is the common interpretation.

Sure - 2♥ is then weak, 3♥ is GF and 3♥ via Leb is invit.

Further to my previous post (about wanting to play this in NT rather than ♥).

I did a quick simulation using Jack 3.0, and NT made as many tricks as ♥ on every occasion (about 20 or so deals) bar one where it made one extra trick.
