2. You don't know yet how weak/strong responder is.

Over 2 invite with 3, responder is showing his weakest raise, pass could be best.
Over 3 raise to game.

With the second suit being a major, 2 will be obvious to anybody. Well, not anybody, there are always people who have another opinion, but as close to 100 % as possible in this forum.

When the second suit is a minor, taste differs.
I like to show the second suit, because:
1. It describes 9 cards from your hand, not just 6.
2. It is much easier to show your 6. spade later then to show a second suit later.
3. When you belong in spades, you may still reach this goal after bidding your second suit now. When you belong in your second suit, it is now or never.
Kind Regards

Roland's reasoning is flawless IMO... I agree 100% with him.

I will raise 3 to 4
I will raise 2 to 3
I will bid 3 over 2NT
Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!

I like to show as much cards as I can to deprive partner from thinking that diamonds might be a good strain.

I would pass 2 from partner (partner could have only 4 HCP!)

2 -- in this auction partner should normally take a preference to 2 with 2-3 in the majors.

Good bridge authors recommend rebid of the 6-card major UNLESS the 4-card suit is hearts ("never" bypass hearts) and with better than minimum, rebid the 4-card suit. Judgment exceptions exist in this or any other bidding priciple, for example 10xxxxx-AKJ10 or AKQ109x-7xxx.

There's zero need to be sorry. You didn't post this in Adv/Exp and these forums are for discussing and learning.

For me, I rebid 2 with this decent 4 card suit and looking for a major fit.

It is the other way around B)
The authors do not agree with what I have to say; I agree with what the authors write.

2 is my rebid.

Although this is a 5 1/2 loser hand, I want to play it in spades unless partner is strong enough to take another call. My experience is that partner will pass with 1 and 3. Diamond leads will probably kill a 4-3 heart contract.

It's true that rebidding 2 will gain when partner has precisely 1-3 and a fairly bad hand.

But rebidding 2 will gain any time partner has 4-5, and some of these gains will in fact be game swings (i.e. partner has 1543 shape and 9-10 points, might pass a 2 rebid but would get us to game if we rebid 2).

Combining the frequency and magnitude of gain will, I expect, indicate that 2 is a better rebid here.

I think it's quite likely that spades will play better when partner is 2-4 in the majors.

Mike Lawrence, in his workbook on the 2 over 1 system recommends to rebid the sixcard and not the fourcard .
He makes an exception when the heart suit has more HCP than the spade suit.

But Mike Lawrence is not a "good bridge author"; he is excellent. ;)

Mike Lawrence had a rule of thumb in some earlier writing that with 6=4 rebid the suit with the most high card points.

It is certainly very easy to construct hands where one or other rebid is bad.

To those who like to rebid the four card suit because it tells partner more information there is another side to this well two other sides actually you also tell the opponents more information.

If I have a six-card suit and I belong in that suit I would rather play the contract having not mentioned my second suit. Of course in the bidding you do not yet know where you belong so you have to make some sort of compromise between helping partner choose the best strain and depriving the opponents of information.

For me currently having tried various approaches in this sort of situation I now tend towards rebidding my six-card suit. I do this less often when my four-card suit is hearts. I also do it less with better hands where the reward of a possible slam/game is greater.
