I'm starting to develop some copious 2/1 notes with one of my pards.

Playing Lawrence Style 2/1, where auctions like

1♠-2♥-2♠-3♥

and

1♠-2♦-2♥-3♦

are non-forcing, I'm thinking about toying with some of responder's jump rebids.

Anyone out there heard of playing 1♠-1N-2♣-3♦ as a splinter instead of the jump showing the top of responder's range and diamonds?

I play it as a splinter, with a nice hand ( for my forcing 1 NT ).

what would 1♠-1nt-2♦-3♣ show (since 1S-2C-2D-3C is available)? if you play the 3D bid as club splinter, seems the 3C bid should be diamond splinter, given the non-forcing ability to show weakness with a suit

Thats a possible meaning, but I think you need a way to bid: x, xx, xxx, AQxxxxx

ok, i suppose playing it as a splinter is fine... i'm not sure it's better than using it to show a top of range hand with a good suit... i guess maybe you should go by frequency percentages, or partnership philosophy... i have no idea which bid is theoretically better

Pass is the perfect bid for that, and after opps interfere with 2♥ you bid 3♣.
Now you described your hand perfectly.

Pass the 2♦ rebid in the 1♠ - 1 NT - 2♦ auction given.

You have to either play 1♠-3♣ as 6-9, or 10-11 or rebid 2NT with long clubs and play a poor part score, it may work at MP :blink:
