I think I'd start with 3♦ and then spades so that I can give pard a chance to bid spade tolerance. This way I can deny heart tolerance.

FWIW, I play 3♠ jump rebid here as highly invitational.

Does no one actually play weak jump shifts (or intermediate) any more? Am I missing some new trend? Apparently...

I mean, for about maybe 5 years, everyone in my area with whom I play has switched to 1♥-P-2♠ as constructive-intermediate (8-11 or so), where 1♠...3♠ would be GF. For maybe 20 years before that, everyone I knew played 1♥-P-2♠ as weak, rendering 1♠...2♠ as 8-11 or so, and 1♠...3♠ as GF.

I'd have to go back to when girls had coodies to remember strong jump shifts, where 1♠...3♠ was NF.

The only help I can think of is if South elects to pass 2C - which IMO isn't that bad of choice with the Qx of clubs. Discounting the club Q the hand is then pretty minimal with not good shape and only a fair heart suit - so maybe pass to alert partner to the minimum values is O.K.

Then you get:

1H-P-1S=2C
P-P-X-P
2H-P-2S-P
3S-P-?

Then maybe I'm dreaming.... <_<
