Am I missing something, is this not perfect for garbage stayman?
1NT=2C
2D=2H (4-4) WEAK

AS ROLAND MENTIONS
TRF H AND BID 2S WITH INVITE 5-4 OR
STAYMAN AND BID 2S WITH INVITE 4-5.

P bids his 3 card major.

well roland said with 22(54) pard corrects to 2N. This is obviously a problem if you bid garbage stayman with a 5-5 yarb.

so with xxxxx xxxxx x xx how do you bid over 1N roland?

I bid 2♣ followed by 2♥ over 2♦. If I play with you where 22 in the majors may be the rule rather than the exception I will just pick one of the majors and transfer. I can't remember when I or my partners last opened 1NT with 2254 or 2245.

2♥ is not invitational. In an earlier post I described how I invite with 5-4 or 4-5.

whether or not 2-2 in the majors is the rule or the exception is irrelevant since we are trying to decide the best course for a hand that DID open 2-2 in the majors to follow. Should they bid 2N or pass. I just really cant imagine bidding 2N with this hand if pard can have 4-5 or 5-5 yarborough. Pard was presumably trying to get out of 1N, so you have successfully retreated to 2N. It seems that the only time 2N will be a winner is if partner has some values and 4-4 in the majors, otherwise it will be a loser.

well (as my 2nd post probably indicated) i'd have bid 2♣ also, and i'd have passed the 2♦ bid... most seem to agree
