Hi, I was wondering what agreements regular Strong Club players have after that nasty interference in a GF auction.

Example:

What hands bid pass / double?
What is 2NT and what is 3♠?

Two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do!

I've played Precision with natural positives for many years. I've found natural continuation (given this is forcing pass situation) quite adequate. Pass/ Double inversion is not usually used at this level, but might work out OK as this should improve the bidding of opener's two-suited hands. New suit bids, no trump bids, and raises should be natural. These kinds of bids by fourth hand are neither as common nor as troublesome as 1♣ -(P)-1♦ negative-(2♠) and similar. By the way, I've been experimenting with immediate responses on negative values with shape (like Revision Club) and had had some interesting experiences.

***

Dbl is akin to negX: other suits, but tell me more.
2NT has S-stop to stay within 3NT unless partner is slammy.
3S is controls rich H-support.
Pass is no suggestion in front of partner in this GF auction.
I'm choosing Pass. I hope partner can suggest something.
Dream he might even Dbl on this apparent misfit.
