Suppose you hold a hand with following characteristics:
- 2-4-5-2 distribution exactly
- poor 4 card ♥ (9xxx)
- good 5 card ♦ (KQJxx)
- enough values to bid 2♦ as F1
- EDIT: no GF values

What do you bid when the auction starts 1♠ - (2♣) - ???

Doesn't it depend on whether I have game forcing values? Just like the choice between 2♣ and 1M if p opens 1♦ and we are not playing MAFIA.

X, Mayors rule.

Of course it helps, if you play a style,
where the X showes both suits.

Besides, sometimes you get to play 2Cx,
which is not possible after a 2D bid.

With kind regards

PS: I would even doubel with 5432 in hearts.

For those who wonder: you don't have GF values.
