How do you play these bids, in SAYC and 2/1

1♥:3♦
1♥:4♦

I see people playing both 3♦ or 4♦ as a splinter.

1♥ - 3♦ <-- weak jump shift
1♥ - 4♦ <-- splinter

I suppose there's probably a contingent of ppl who still play 1♥-3♦ as a strong jump shift, too.

In SAYC, 1H-3D is strong jump shift. If SAYC was agreed, then it *is* strong jump shift unless n' until otherwise agreed. I play it as WJS by agreement with all partners, unless our agreement is Bergen. I don't play SAYC although I know it very well.

1H-4D splinter.

Peachy's right... By the Holy Writ of SAYC, 1♥-3♦ is strong. But, playing 'SAYC' on BBO it seems to usually be weak. ;)
