My partner and I are currently playing a convention over opponents 1 No
Trump opening (weak or strong) which is kinda interesting and I am
wondering if anyone else in netland has used it.  I don't know if it has
a name, but the description is as follows:

When opponent opens 1 No Trump, a 2 level suit call in the *direct*
position requests partner to bid the next higher suit.  It's sort of a
defensive Jacoby Transfer.

This convention has the advantage of placing the lead in the hand with
the strength.  When the opponents are using Lebensohl in defense of
overcalls of a 1 No Trump opener, they usually haven't agreed yet as to
whether Lebensohl responses are for the transfer suit or the called
suit.  Any discussion on the merits/disadvantages of this convention?

  Mugs Away, Mate!
