Obviously, this auction, like any legal auction, exists.

Disagree. True, the auction 1NT-3NT-6NT exists theoretically but there is no bridge hand consistent with both the 1NT and 6NT calls. Clearly it was this what Richard was asking about and in my opinion, there is no hand that first passes, then passes over 4D and then jumps to 4S.

1NT=8-10 or 16-18. 3NT=balanced, to play over 8-10. 6NT=16-18.

Not that I've heard of anyone playing this recently. But I know people who have played these split ranges.

Or: 1NT= strength and distribution ask, 3NT = 12-13 HCP, any 4333, 6NT = to play.

Nevermind Maggie,arguing with jdonn is so common that people will either laugh, depress or skip the thread, but not think badly about anyone.


About sick bidding sequences, I know of a couple that happened with success.

1♣-2♣
3♣-4♣
5♣-6♣
7♣-pass

result: 7♣=

1NT-2NT
3NT-6NT
pass

result: 6NT+1

I have a friend who had this one. He was on the doubling side. The 1NT opening was 12-14.

1NT (X) 2♥ (X)
3♥ (X) 4♥ (X)
P P P

The opponents then asked what the doubles meant. Answer, all penalty.

Result, 4♥X down 1
