MP, Insane.

GIB is improving, I think. In an earlier incarnation I would have expected East to sit for 4HXX

I don't say that it is easy, but if North has KQ of clubs and heart fit he should be doing something a bit more imaginative than raising 3H to 4H. Rather misses the point of the post, mind.

I have wrote so because i have used Reese convention that can apply on this hand. Infact jumping on 3 meaning heart is selfsupporting and is estabilished as trump suit fourthemore contemporary query for Ace(s) by steps so 3(=0 Ace-first step). Now if S bids 4 query for King in club in the same way than here 4(=0 King) otherwise 4(= King of club+almost xx in the trump suit[the convention requires xxx but also xx could be sufficent]). If S want to know about Q/doubleton bids 5 and with this information ending in 6. The third step indicates singleton (4) and raising query suit meaning Ace or void.

There is certainly a dearth of information in the alert system regarding the distinction between 2H and 3H rebids by opener.

However i think GIB doesn't use Reese and any player use jump in 2 with other meaning. I like suggest (as i have done in other posts) this convention.

I agree 3H should set trump. There are probably several sets of continuations that develop from that which would work.

After 2C-2D-3M, I like this fairly simple continuation method - Any minimum new suit bid shows that Ace. If responder has no Ace but one or more Kings, 3NT is bid. Opener can then ask about specific kings. Responder simply raises 3M to 4 with no Aces or Kings.
