1.        1♦ - (3♣) - 4♣


2.        1♦ - (3♣) - 4♦

What should they be? Maybe 4♦ as minorwood? Any ideas/thoughts/comments are welcome.
Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!

Both support bids, strong/weak resp. Although it might make sense to use the 1st auction as 55 majos or somefink.

I think it would make a lot of sense that one of them is a form of keycard, since if you want to bid 4♣ then keycard partner might get in the way and bid 5♦. At the table I would interpret the 4♦ bid as not quite forcing, but very distributional and shapely and rarely passed. But it's not something I've thought about before. Good question.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Nice question Adam, never thought about it.

Agree.

With kind regards

PS: We dont play Minorwood in unconstested auctions,
hence we wont play it in contested ones.
