I am confused. You describe a commonly used solution, noting you have recently adopted that solution in a partnership, and then ask if a solution exists. Well, you explained one solution that exists!
Now I am confused! I said we use inverted minors where responder bids 2
♦ with 10+ points and opener can start cue bidding for stops at the 2 level. That's not the position with the hand I quoted. Playing inverted minors my partner would have responded 3
♦ with 6-9 points, but now cue bidding would have to start at the 3 level, and I was asking if it was still a good idea. Several posters have said they would prefer to blast 3NT rather than cue bid and end up in 3NT with the strong hand on the table or in 4
♦ having telegraphed weakness. I think it was a reasonable question and I got what I reckon is good advice.
