With every f2f partner I have, we play all systems on after a double and off after an overcall. In an online game last night I opened 1d, LHO doubles, pard bids 2d, we wound up at 5d doubled for a very painful result. I laughed and told pard I thought we were playing inverted minors (which we do). Opp says, "NOBODY plays inverted minors after a double." Obviously we should have discussed it, but is "on after a double, off after an overcall" a rare agreement? |

Yes I'd have to agree with your opponent. It's not at all common for inverted minors to be played over a double. It's more common that are on over an overcall, most common that they are off in all competition. It's generally considered more important to get in a standard single raise once the opponents bid. The same hand might be able to bid 1NT otherwise, but in competition lacks a stopper for this call. Also, a strong raise can be shown with a Jordan 2NT over a double, and with a cue bid over an overcall. Actually, let me be more precise. It is the strong single raise that should be off in competition. The preemptive jump raise should remain on over both overcalls and doubles. |

"on after a double, off after an overcall" usually refers to 2-level system responses to 1N opening after interference. As you are aware, 1N opening rules and 1-suit opening rules are two separate and completely different bidding sequences. So they must be discussed individually. |
