Hi all,
sorry, I have posted this question on rec.games.bridge before, but most replies could not give me literature references.

The question is related to bidding against weak NT.
It is NOT related to the best convention (whether Astro, Landy, Capp, Brozel, or whatever) but rather on hand evaluation.

I am not looking for a description of a convention but rather for a LOT of examples described in a book.

Bidding vs weak NT is difficult because you don't know whom the hand belongs to, as opposed to strong NT: when opp open a strong NT, 90% of the time, the hand belongs to opps; and even if it does not, you are not very worried, because most pèrobably the rest of the field (or the in the other room), nobody will bid an unlikely game.
So the bidding vs strong NT is almost purely preemptive, no worries of preempting partner.
But against weak NT, inexperience dplayers like me have trouble bidding and deciding when to penalize opps, or when to show a 1-2suiter, or when simply sit and pass.
Even more difficult sequences arise when you have to respond yto pard's penalty double, whether opp escape, pass or redouble.

But, since ACOL is based on weak NT and seems rather widespread in quite a few places in the worls, it seems strange to me thgat there does not exist a book, or a chapter, on bidding vs weak NT (I already own the book "Double" by Mike Lawrence, where he deals with this topic but he himaself admits he is only scratching the surface).

Thanks !!
