I like that Josh.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

If you play that 3C guarantees a phony JS then you must have some other way of showing a strong hand with clubs.

Perhaps more common is to play 1S-1NT-3C as a multi way bid. 3D asks and then:

3H = 5-4 in the majors, GF
3S = single suited GF
3NT = at least 5-4 in spades and clubs, GF.

Alternatively you could scrap the single suited hand and play that 3S shows at least 6-4 in the black suits.

I got the idea to switch 3♠ with 3NT. That way you can bid 3♠ first then pull when you have extra shape (5-5 on certain hands, else 6-5), instead of risking partner passing. And when you have the spade hand you can utilize all the bids 3NT+, maybe to show a side fragment of strength.

That is great... I am going to add that.. btw, as far as I can recall, the multi-purpose jumpshift into 3♣ was invented/named by Jeff Reubens of the BW: I think it is called Jeff's magic elixir.....

I hate hate hate the idea of rebidding 2M with weak 6-4s. I love love love rebidding the 4 card minor 99 % of the time. As such 2S doesn't show extras to me. I would say a 5 card suit is very unlikely but possible. AKQJx xxx --- Jxxxx I think I would just have to rebid 2S over 2D.

First hand seems perfect. Second hand should take its lumps in 2♦.

Thats what I was discussing with the other commentators. They were saying a 'weak, distributional hand unsuitable for 2♦.

I said its best to play this as a strong sequence, and practically forcing.

I don't think there is any hand unsuitable for playing 2♦ on this sequence, at least not one without extras wich has a reasonable chance of finding a better fit.

Clearly there are: minimum, diamond void, 6-5 in the blacks.

Hi,

assuming 2D is to play (and promising
a 6 card suit):
#1 2S promises a 6 carder
#2 should deny 2 diamonds

=> I would say neither hand fits.

With kind regards
Marlowe
