Playing polish club, the bidding goes:

1 (1) Pass (1)

What kind of hands are showing the bids:
- Dbl
- 2
- 2
- 2NT
- 3
- 3NT?

TY, Poky

Here's what I would guess, as a "beginner" WJ player:

dbl = typically a strong balanced hand not wanting to bid NT because of lack of cards in their suits.

2M = natural?

2NT = Strong balanced, I suppose, maybe about 22HCP? (But I imagine that "serious" Polish Club players might give a conventional meaning to 2NT in this sort of situation.)

3 = Will probably look like an "Acol Two".

3NT = To play, likely based on long running clubs.

Dbl should be t.o 15+ with club diamond.
3C - 18+ good 6 card suit.
1NT- 18-20 nat usually stoper atleast in spade.
2NT-21-22 nat stopers.
2H/2S good point to play them nat to handle psychs, but without an agrement i would take it as either 2NT hand with stoper in the suit bid and no stoper in the other major. or a very distributed hand that cant afford partner passing my t.o double. i would bid NT with the stoper and partner will continue with the crazy hand.
3NT - good hand based on long and strong club suit.
