1♣-(1♦)-p-1NT-2♣: to play or Stayman?
1♣-(1♦)-p-1NT-2♦: Takeout or transfer? Or to play?

Obviously it makes sense to have an agreement, but if you don't have one, what would you assume? (Secondary question: which agreement do you think is better?)

I can't work out what your auctions are.

Are you asking about
1C (1D) P P
1NT P 2C
?

If so, I would always assume this is natural and weak, and wouldn't occur to me that it wasn't.

after
1C (1D) P P
1NT (P) 2D

I would take this as a cue-bid (although this is a more likely auction after a 1S overcall)

Yes, those are the auctions I meant.

I have a rule for continuations over 1NT rebids by opener:

- If responder passes 1st round: all natural
- If responder bids 1st round: system on, with the obvious modifications

Example:

1♦ 1♥ 1♠ pass
1NT pass 2♣ = checkback

1♥ 1♠ pass pass
1NT pass 2♦ = natural, to play

1♥ 1♠ pass pass
1NT pass 2♠ = inconsistent with pass, thus probably weakish 55 minors

2♣ by 1♣ opener: to play: probably a good six card, 12-16 H
2♦ by 1♣ opener:: take-out: good hand (14+), short in ♦ and both majors.

What else George ?
