In 2/1 GF system what is the quality of the major suit needed for a rebid of a suit after 1H-1S 1H-1NT or 1S-1NT. When would you rather bid a 3 card side suit instead of your 6 card major ?

Its more a matter of strenght than suit quality.
1H-------1S
2H
1H-------1Nt
2H
1S-------1Nt
2S
These show minimum hands. But the suit quality can be anything.
1H-------1S
2m could be up to 18 pts.

1H-------1S
3H-------???
95% of experts will bid 4H despite the singleton. So 3H should show a very good suit not just pts.
So with a good hand but bad suit you have to bid a 3 card minor despite holding a 6M, the idea is that partner will only pass holding a stiff in your major and a hand not strong enough to rebid 2Nt or raise your minor or to bid his suit. These hand you will play 2m instead of 3M but since game is unlikely its not a big problem.
Im not sure its 100% standard but its a pretty steady way to play.

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."

I don't think I've ever wanted to bid a 3-card minor in this auction.
(Although I do play artificial methods over 1NT, perhaps if I didn't, I might find a suitable hand)

1. I need new glasses
2. I am drunk
3. I am senile.
===================
In standard 2/1 (not that there is such a thing)
1H-------1S
2H
Can be a 5 card suit
1H-------1Nt
2H
Guarantees a 6 card suit
1S-------1Nt
2S
Guarantees a 6 card suit
Maybe Steven Robinson (Washington Standard) or Frances play differently, but this is the more common agreement.

That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.
