About 1D-p-1S-2S, what BWS says

VI. Defensive-Bidding Methods

This section describes agreements about auctions in which the opponents makes the first bid.
...
Actions in sandwich position:

Over an opposing opening bid and one-over-one response:

(a) one notrump³, two or more of opener’s suit, or
two of responder’s suit is natural^1,2;
(b) two notrump shows the unbid suits;
(c) three of responder’s suit asks for a stopper in that suit for three notrump (suggesting a solid suit elsewhere).



P.S.

1. The vote percentages:
   88% for "acceptable", vs 12% "not acceptable", from the expert panel.
   46% for "acceptable", vs 54% "not acceptable", from the readers
2. Michaels cuebid is indeed part of BWS, only that it does NOT apply to the 1-over-1 sandwich position above.
   "An unpassed-hand’s cue-bid in opener’s suit, in either direct or reopening position, shows either a weakish or a very strong hand with
   (a) both majors if the cue-bid is in a minor, or
   (b) the unbid major and an unspecified minor if the cue-bid is in a major.
   The same bid by a passed hand shows a strength range consistent with security and the initial pass."
3. The "Sandwich NT" convention played by some of us is not part of BWS, as seen above.
4. The jump cue-bid we discussed earlier is defined too.
   "A jump cue-bid is:
   (a) natural in direct position in opener’s minor;
   (b) asking for a stopper for three notrump (suggesting a solid suit elsewhere) in direct position in opener’s major and in reopening position."

Bridge poetry

在网上找关于bridge的诗歌，不是很难找到几个，大部分都跟流水帐一样（就是流水帐），给不玩牌的人看着多半觉得无聊当有趣，不过有些句子，未尝不给玩牌至瘾的人以会心一笑。

幅标题的那个，是在这里看见的诗歌，标题是
