Ick... gotta find a first bid as South...
I picked 3♣ despite the fact that the description explicitly includes "2-H"; I hoped to be able to do something about that later.

I wish I had written down the description of what 2♦ would have meant; I just remember that I didn't think it fit my hand.

Bottom line: apparently, GIB thinks that introducing a new suit here specifically denies having 3-card support. Hopefully this can be changed.

What you should worry more is the explanation of 4C to show 1C+, which is just a huge nonsense.

1♦ - 1♥ - Pass - 2♦ - Good support in ♥ -- 3+ ♥; 10+ total points ?

Is that the full description? I was afraid of not being able to show my suits enough to find the best slam.

Yes, that's the entire meaning of the cuebiding the opening suit on 2nd level.

Ok. Then, just talking about bridge, how should this auction have gone?
