Oh dear, oh dear Andy. NEILL originally developed it for use over 1NT and weak 2s and then NEILL developed it further. I should have thought that was obvious from my post. I guess not....

OK, so when did Bruce Neil first suggest playing transfers over an Michaels cue-bid?

Why don't you email him and ask him?

Scoring: IMP

1♠ (2♠) ?

I've done it before and I've heard the stories of players waiting to enter the auction only to find themselves still waiting for their bid when the round ends.
Is there ever a good time to wait, is this one of them?

Easy pass. This hand is rather bad and you will often find the split will be bad too.
Facing a minimum opener, the maximum I want to commit with this hand is 2S, which has been bid already. So, it is really an easy pass. The defensive potential is also excellent for this hand.

Becuase I'm not the one who asserted Neil's authorship of this method.
