Fav vul.
Imps

2S=P=?

New suit by you is not forcing. 2NT can ask 5 or 6 spades and quality of hand if you wish.
Partner at this vul. may only have 5 spades. New partnership.

I've never played new suit not forcing...

I think 4H. Partner is allowed to have xxxxxx Jxx Kxx x (or likely a bit better) - and that gives chances for an overtrick!

3H seems ok, we can trust partner to add the 4th one more often than not.

I would like a more self sustaining suit to try 4H alone.

It looks like a perfect hand for the methods, 3♥. If partner has a fit then they will raise and we'll hopefully be able to ruff one or both of our losing clubs.

If you can bid 3H nf, you should, why else have you agreed to play this.
With kind regards

I can understand the NV approach at match points but not at imps. This hand a remarkable exception and lucky to have 3H NF available.

The less tightly defined your weak 2s the more you need this approach
