IMP teams. What do you do now, and what's your plan over likely continuations?

Sounds right. If 2NT is undiscussed then it seems dangerous. 3D looks right at whatever strength.

A lot depends on your agreed meaning for the double. If you have no agreement it's a complete crapshoot.

Mine shows a strong notrump. You can deviate buy a point or 3 (on the plus side) but you have no short suits (unless you do with a high honour or 4-4-4-1 shape).

I can bid front of card as if we opened 1nt with this and bid 2nt, lebensohl into 3 (most likely) or 3 forcing if I'm in a gambling mood.

The double is a standard penalty double of a weak NT: roughly 14+, no shape requirements, no upper limit. Restricting it to being a strong NT is not something I've ever heard of before.

Can you tell us what's the meanings of 2?

1- if 2 is a natural bid without forcing , my plan is double at first, let pd pick up a minor, if pd respondes 2, I would rebid 3, pd will pass or correct to 3, sign off.

2- if 2 is to ask pd to transfer to 2, I would bid 2N at first,then rebid 3, sign off.
