I still hate the 4-card minor suit limit (or forcing) raise. Especially on this hand!

The question should be 'Why bid 2, North?'. When I started playing in the 80', a cuebid in opps suit had a specifik meaning, and was seldom used. To day it seems it is used rather randomly and without any specifik meaning, and often despite that you might have another, more precise and describing, bid. Yes, North had two chances to describe his hand, and didn't use either.

Here Gib should play balanced invitation with 11hcp and stoppers in .
However,a pity that appoach of showing 11hcp hand is to cue bid opp's suit,rarely bid notrump for balanced invitation.
Hoping Gib can be improved in the next version.

I don't mind showing the C fit with 2H but not bidding 2NT next is very poor. I believe that Georgi has said that bidding 2NT after a minor LR+ - whether it be an inverted raise, or a cue bid in comp, is forcing to game. A very poor method indeed, as can be seen with the myriad of hands that have been posted here where a sound NT contract could not be reached. PLEASE, BBO, make 2NT invitational in these sequences.
