Rex and I have been discussing what to do with 10-12 3 card raises as well, as I don't like the normal system either.

Can someone steer me to the thread/discussion about the 2♣ multi responses, and most importantly, how the followup works?

Thanks!!! :P

This is what I am playing now, there are a lot of additional methods along similar lines (and perhaps better methods).

http://inquiry2over1.blogspot.com/2005/06/...erse-drury.html

This method includes in 2♣ bid...

1) 2/1 GF with 5+ clubs
2) balanced hand without major support, a good 10 up....
3) 3 or 4 card support constructive raise or better (but less than limit raise with four card support, can be limit raise with three card support).

Opener respond to 2♣ as if it was reverse drury, of course in first/second seat, opener will have an opening hand.

Obviously, this change also changes the type of hands you can hold to bid 1NT: No hand with any kind of real support -- weaker hands with support raise immediately, no balanced hands unless less than good 10 hcp, and if you use 1M-jump shift to show ~10 pts, good suit, no support, no good hand with one suiter less than GF.

well.. just play it as reverse drury or clubs GF.. that is easy enough to remember... I pulled the strong NT hands out just so that 1NT could be passed.. then they had to go somewhere... :-)

yeah.. this 4333 shape with 10 hcp is, in my experience, a bit of a trap hand... better bid a plain 1♠-2♠. Pard usually tries for game with 15+ anyway.
