Lebensohl may be used after partner has doubled a weak two bid. Whe partner doubles then you bid 2NT with a weak hand and without extras partner will bid three clubs which you can pass or correct.. Lebensohl over the double of a Weak 2 bid gives up a natural 2NT bid, and uses the 2NT bid to clarify other auctions. Let's revisit hand #1 and #2 playing Lebensohl. With hand #2, ♠T953 ♥J632 ♦QJ9 ♣96, East uses the artificial 2NT bid, planning to rebid 3♥ to show a weak hand (0-7) with hearts.

Lebensohl can be a beneficial addition to your system if you limit it to just the standard treatments above. If you want to adopt some more advanced uses of the convention, you can add special sequences to distinguish between different types of forcing and invitational hands.. Very Useful Convention I have discussed Lebensohl as a conventional response when opponents interfere over partner's one-no-trump opening bid. We will examine how the convention is used after partner makes a takeout double of an opponent's weak-two opening bid. It will take us two weeks to cover this convention fully.
