So given the auction starts (1nt "15-17") 2!{1} (x!{2}) what would you play the following as:

xx
pass
2
other?

where the alerted bids were:
1 - single long suit
2 - staymen

and specifically how would you treat the following continuations:

xx (2) p (p)
x

p (2) p (p)
x

xx (p) p (2)
x

Is rdbl points or club tolerance and which of the dbls, if any, should be penalty oriented? Would any of this change if the 1nt was weak 12-14?

xx = bid your suit
pass = I want to play in
2 and other = natural

I have the same agreements as Frederick, but I wonder if it isn't better for pass to mean "let's stay out of the auction".
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

Hi,

the method suggested by Free is standard,
given tha the X of 2C is stayman, it is
certainly not best, but it pays to have simple
agreements.

With kind regards
