(please don't take this thread 100% seriously)
I finally managed to stop trolling around on the forums and play some live bridge for a change (I will continue trolling but only in parallel to playing, too). Round 1 starts with this auction:

1NT-2♣*-2♦-p (2♣=majors)
p-2♥-...

main question: Where do you think our auction ended?

We agreed to Lebensohl with my partner, who sometimes has different ideas about auctions but is a good player.

Your hand is (as dealer)
AK
Jxx
Qx
KQTxxx
(a maximum 14-16).

The next round hidden:
Spoiler


One more round to go:
Spoiler

So, what happened?
Spoiler

... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

I'm glad to hear that your partner is good at other things.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

I can see the reason for the 2♦ bid now. +150 outscores -50.

ArtK78 beat me to it :)

BTW you have an obvious 3♠ bid over 3♥, I know a pro who says that when the client starts cuebidding stupidly he just bids first step and awaits.
