This is slightly better then the romex where 3Nt show 4-4 in the M because it tend to give less lead directing

I'm not quite sure I understand this. Can you elucidate, please?

The sequences that allow a lead directing X other then a double of 3C are

2Nt----3C
3D-----3H asking for 4S or no majors (my method = ask for 5S or no maj)

2Nt-----3C
3D------3S (showing 4H) (my method =showing 4S+5H)

2Nt-----3C
3H------3S (ask for 4 or 5H) (my method =showing 4S)

In romex the bidding goes 2Nt----3C-----3D each time opener doesnt have Majors or has a 4card S suit. But in my method 2Nt---3C----3D happen when opener has no majors or 5S. So in my method most of the sequence are 2Nt---3C---3M instead of 2Nt----3C-----3D----3M.

The only downsibe of my method is if opener is 44 in the M and responder has 4S but not 4H then responder will play the hand instead of opener.


(ps this method and many other gadget that i know come from Normand Houle Thanks Normand !)
From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."
