Just looking at the N and S hands, would I want to be in 3NT? Certainly not. On the other hand, gifts happen. On the whole I learnt to bid more aggressively in the last 6 months, and think I profit from it.


What would a score of 2 NT+1=150 worth of?
"Genius has its own limitations, however stupidity has no such boundaries!"

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."

Let's see:
3NT= (400, 24 players), 89.25 %.
2NT+1 (150, 0 players), ~ 77 %.
2NT= (120, 0 players), ~ 77 %.
2♣+1 (110, 2 players), 76.17 %.
3NT-1 (-50, 55 players), 48.60 %.
1♠W!= (-80, 4 players), 21.03 %
3NT-2 (-100, 12 players), 13.08 %
1♠W!+1 (-110, 4 players), 5.14 %
and others in between.

I got your point, it's a good score particularly at MPs and much less risk.

Without interference one would normally reach 2NT [edited] with this hand. After the interference GIB doesn't permit this. Neither 3♣. Here's how the ♣ contracts were reached. I don't think we want to recommend these:
(p) p! (1♦) p; (1♥) p! (1♠) p; (p) 2♣! (p) p; (p),
(p) p! (1♦) p; (1♥) X! (1♠) 3♣; (p) p (p).
Also interesting: If NS pass all the way, EW reach 1♠ because East passes West's 1♠ rebid. I can understand this but I know people who would send East to the moon for it.
