I really dislike 1M 3N as a 3card support, gf hand. It takes up too much room and partner is no better off.
The treatment is not marked on my card, I have not found a good use for it.

I think it is preferable to show your partner your hand without using these jumps. The method I use is is to start with an artificial 2C* (could be short) and show M support on my next bid.

The most important thing is to agree on something simple and stick to it.
You're not going to decide a tournament on this, except when you have a misunderstanding.

I don't play it with anyone at the moment, but I prefer it to be a splinter in the suit below (1S-3NT=splinter, 1H-3NT=splinter), means opener always has room over the splinter.
