Help
I was wondering if anyone has played/come across a (semi)forcing pass system and have defence vs. it?
The pair in question are playing:
1st/2nd seat:
Pass = 0-6 HCP or 15-20 HCP Bal or 15-20 No Major
1♣ = 10-21 HCP 4+♥, unbal often canape
1♦ = 10-21 HCP 4+♠, unbal often canape
1♥ = 7-10 Any
1♠ = 10-14 HCP Unbal, No major
1NT = 11-14
2♣ = Any GF
2M = 8-10 5+M
3rd/4th seat:
Pass = 0-3
1♣ = 10-18 HCP Bal, or 15-18 Unbal No Major
1♦ = 9-18 4+♥, unbal can be canape
1♥ = 3-8 Any or 4-9 Bal
1♠ = 9-18 HCP 4+♠, unbal can be canape
1NT = 19+ Any
2m = 9-14, 5+m No Major
Thanks!

Hi:
I would just play my normal methods against this system.
The 15-20 range will not be used much since those hands are something like a once a session holding. The 0-6 range is something that you might want to let them get into trouble.
It is not a standard forcing pass system where pass shows 13+
If you really want to bid more often vs this system, you might want to try playing Phantom Club. It assumes that a '1C' bid was made to your right and you now overcall. A '1C' opening by you is often a takeout of a standard 1C bid.
Regards,
Robert

They surrender the auction on their strong: 15-20 without M??
Get to 2M often! Let them try to untangle stops, tricks, after we set up our defense.
Canape?
Open up jump overcall in other Major -wide ranging values as the ambiguity is in our favor.
The rest looks to play regular competing methods. Few new inferences.

used to play a system called heart bypass
over pass pass is 11-14 bal
over 1c / 1d x clasical t/o 1M shows
good 5cd suit
over 1h x 11-14 bal or 4h
11+
1s to 2d natural 2h strong w/outh
2s+ strong f 1rnd
(1nt 15-18)

I've commented against this system (Crunch)
vs Pass: Ignore it
vs 1m: Dbl = normal T/O of the shown suit, their major = raptor, 1NT = natural
vs 1♥:
Pass = may include stronger hands with ♥ length
Dbl = opening strength but no long suit
1♠ = 1♠-opening
1NT = strong NT
2m = natural, lon
2M, 3m = Natural, intermediate
2NT = strong 2NT
3M = preemptive
vs 1♠
Pass = may include stronger hands with ♠ length
1♠ = opening strength, playable in both majors unless strong
Rest natural
