Welcome all
Is there any standard treatment handling negative response to strong 5/5 gazzilli variant. Assuming you play constructive rasies and 2♣ as 17+ with unbalanced hands. What those auctions mean(opps pass)?
A.1♥-1NT-2♣-2♥-3♦-? replacing ♦ with ♣ change anything?
B.1♥-1NT-2♣-2♥-4♦-?
C.1♥-1NT-2♣-2♥-2NT-? Is 2NT forcing?
If we assume that any response to new suit after 2♣ by responder is forcing what it's supposed to be in those auctions, especially A and B? Does 3♦ or 4♦ are game forcing?

Hi Kupi, welcome to the forums.
Natural and forcing.
I would say splinter.
For me this would show 18-19 balanced (and thus invitational), but if you don't include that hand type in your 2♣ then I dunno.

Thx for quick reply
If in auction A 3♦ is forcing, does responder 4♦ is nonforcing, couse personally i would be closer to view 3♦ as NF, and subsequent bids by responder as:
4♦ minorwood on ♦, 3 or 4♥ signofs, new suit cue(shortness, A or K allowed?) in support of ♦

Agree with mgoetze.
How can 4d be minorwood? Responder has already shown a lousy hand via 2h, he cannot now be bidding keycard. Much more likely he has a bunch of diamonds and wants to suggest 5d if opener has a suitable hand. This kind of sequence is part of why I think minorwood is a terrible method: far too often you simply want to agree partner's minor at the four level to either invite game or start a cuebid sequence... and you can't because 4m is rkc.
