i saw in chat that one opponent said 2sa. What does 2sa mean?

Thanks,

[mycroft]

Likely 2NT.

In French, it is "2 sans atout" (2 without any). I believe it may have the same abbreviation in other european languages.

i presume then that 2 "without any" means 2 "without any trump". but was one telling the other what to bid? if so, that seems against the rules. i'm new so maybe i'm missing something.

thanks, again. Terry

It could have been keyboard entry gone wrong. It could have been a discussion of the last hand. It could be something totally different. I can't imagine it being "please bid 2NT" - why?

[tgwall413]

it was repeated. 2nd time it had the person's first name, Judy. it was coming from partner, and 2nd time it said, "Judy 2sa"

[smerriman]

I would guess it was after this hand:

---

Where after seeing dummy (or making 1NT+3), your LHO (French, as expected) thought his partner should have invited game with 2NT, got annoyed, and left.

[tgwall413]

mystery solved, thanks to you!! The person did leave right after. How were you able to pull this game up?

without trumps. Same in Italian (senza atout).
