I would use pass then 3 as one of the both minors 2 suiters.


Ah, OK. I have them as the delayed 2NT and 3NT, which seems more intuitive to me.

I would think pass-then- 3 = stop-ask,

whereas pass-then- 4 jump would be the minor 2-suiter ( as both would be in Leaping Michaels ) .

Except that given that you have 7 diamonds and one club, the odds of opener having clubs rather than diamonds in his precision diamond are much higher, (3)4(2)4 or similar is very likely depending on NT range. Partner is hardly going to work out that K, xxxxx, 109, xxxxx is dynamite.


Yep of course you are right, I just forgot it was a precision diamond.

Yeah, but 3/4 I was thinking as the unequal length ones.

Although seeing Two4's post, solid diamond suit asking for heart stop is also very plausible.

If you play, over minor openings that could be short, (1m)-2 as weak with hearts or spades, 2 is freed up for some kind of hand with the minor that was opened. Not that I'm saying that this is appropriate for this hand or any good at all, but it is an idea anyway.
