Help
Must I play 3D 'mini-splinter' as if 12 opener?
Or may I have strong follow-ups?
eg. invite partner's good 6.

1♠ assuming forcing, the hand is too good for anything else without gadgets. 2nd choice 4♥ at both MPs and IMPs.

I bid 1♠ because I don't know any better; but I'd like a reminder of Gnasher's complete method.

I'm not sure he has a "complete method" .
All I know is that he first suggested the 2S!-jump as an artificial force ( only ) over a 1H response .... and I liked it ... and "ran with it " ...
He subsequently has disavowed any credit for it's origin.
The 2S!-jump definitely is a "cheaper" bid than a 3C-jump or 2NT-jump and neither of those are game-forcing .

Without any system I voted 3♣, and considered 1♠. Like the GGG idea, but never played it

"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
