2/1 system
2m promises 4+ cards and GF.
Opening 1NT with 5 cards major need 3 cards OM, and 1/3 honor in doubleton.

You hold AQx AQxxx KJx xx, so you opened 1H.
Partner responded 2D.

your rebid?

thanks!

I'll make the bid that shows a balanced 15-17 that doesn't fit a 1NT opening.

If you don't know what that bid is, then this is a good example of the trouble one gets into by putting hcp location (1/3 honor in doubleton) ahead of more important things like shape and strength.

2, right? What else is there? I suppose 3 and 2 are both reasonable as well, but seems like partner might want to know where else I live.
"I suggest a chapter on "strongest dummy opposite my free bids." For example, someone might wonder how I once put this hand down as dummy in a spade contract: AQ10xxx void AKQxx KQ. Did I start with Michaels? Did I cuebid until partner was forced to pick one of my suits? No, I was just playing with Brian (6S made when the trump king dropped singleton)." David Wright

If you opened 1NT with this hand, it is OK. In fact, I play this style for several years.

In the book fo Max Hardy, you could not open 1NT.

The question arised.

3D need 4 cards. On the other hand, if the declarer had to ruff with your trump, the entry management of trump may be in danger.

How about the 2H rebid? Of course 2H promises 12~14 HCP only, and the opener could show strength later?

3d which for me will not promise extras.

If pard rebids 3nt I should be able to rebid 4nt to show this type hand.
If pard rebids 3h slam try then no problem.
I expect pard to have 5d on this auction very often.

a typical minimum hand for partner will be:

Jxx...Kx..AQxxx...Axx

If pd bid 2 only with 4 cards,I am sure that pd should have 3+ cards .For me,3 is a good option,others are not good.

As stated by Whereagles, I make the bid that shows a bal hand with 5H and this point count? Oh. you don't have one, then perhaps there is a big hole in your system. Btw rebidding 2S is a lol. 2H or 3D is better.

In his book Hardy tried to please everybody and ended up digging systemic holes in the process. For instance, his openers were 12.5+ HCP, so they were both sound and light at the same time. His 1NT was 15.5-18 so that hogs could happily steal their usual 1 HCP to the 16-18 NT. This requirement of 5-3 majors for a 5-card major 1NT opener falls into a similar category.

In short, some of the stuff there is clearly political and doesn't care much for the aftermath rebid problems. I wouldn't take those anti-systemic recommendations too seriously :)

I agree with the first part. If you strangely don't open 1NT because of the doubleton diamond, rebidding that suit seems to defy sanity, looking at the two decisions together. The obvious consistent option is the 2H rebid, living with what might be a Moysian contract and the right contract anyway.
"Gibberish in, gibberish out. A trial judge, three sets of lawyers, and now three appellate judges cannot agree on what this law means. And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

For this system to work it seems clear that a 2NT rebid has to show 15-17. This puts a lot of extra pressure on a 2 rebid but these hands have to go somewhere. If this is not right then the OP has to explain how the system fits together before anyone can provide any sensible advice.

In the absence of a systemic solution, I try 3.

I thought that for people who play these methods 3NT shows 15-17 - weaker or stronger hands rebid 2NT.

That is problematic because there is no way of checking back which side suit was the problem. I envisage the weaker balanced hands rebidding 2M followed by NT. But the OP ought to know their system better than either of us and I think some additional details of the version being used would certainly be appropriate.

I agree with this.
"Genius has its own limitations, however stupidity has no such boundaries!"
"It's only when a mosquito lands on your testicles that you realize there is always a way to solve problems without using violence!"

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."
