4D the way we play it. A one loser D suit, 4 card support, and a limited hand.

Who cares what "standard" is? Whatever Partner understands is good; everything else is bad.

Everyone is right in what they post, as long as pard is in on the joke.



I think we all agree on this one.

I would bid 4.
I suggest the following structure of game raises in this situation :
4 = lots of shape, min in hcp , normally 6-4 or perhaps 5440.
4 = 18-19 bal with 4 card support, or similar.
3 (or 4) = splinter, with extra strength, and defense as well.

Why don't you cuebid with the balanced hand?, I prefer 4 to be a slam try with 4 hearts and good diamonds.
