Sandwich no trump

The Sandwich NT

Hand A The Sandwich NT is much the same as the Unusual nt but one level lower. Consider this hand. LHO opens 1 and RHO responds 1♠, what

Now you would like to show your shapely two-suiter and an Unusual 2NT
So double? That would show these two suits but would imply a much stronger hand. The answer is that 1NT here is also unusual and shows the two unbid suits. There is no need for a natural strong 1NT overcall between two bidding opponents and opposite a passed partner.

Hand B The Sandwich NT is not restricted to the minors, it simply shows the two unbid suits. With Hand B you could also bid 1NT after LHO opens 1• and RHO bids 1
