3S for me. Can see a case for 2N but I'll just show my support.

If partner bids 4D, i'll bid 4S. My club king is dubious and my hand isnt great.

2nt and then 3s over 3d... this should show 3 spades and a flat hand

Hi,

4S.

I have fit, I show my fit, only alternative is 3S,
giving partner a chance to look for slam, but
then, I do not really want to encourage him,
and 4S does promise a hand containing at least
one trick.

With kind regards

Don't you play serious 3NT??? Jumping in GF auctions with an unlimited partner is imo one of the worst things you can do, since you take away lots of bidding space without any propper reason...

Sorry Frederick but I have a proper reason here, I have a bad 4333 hand so fast arrival applies. (And I know I could have the king less but I really don't like this hand)

Hi,

I play it, as can be seen in another thread, I even
overuse it, at least according to some comments ...

The question you have to answer is, do you want to
send an encouraging signal regarding slam chances to
partner, then bid 3S, if not, 4S.

Contrary to joker_gib, I assume 2C as "american style",
i.e. forcing, but not necessarily game forcing, but still stronger
than a 2C opener "european style" ("semi-forcing), in other
words, 2S can be passed.
=> 4S shows live, but nothing more, take away the King and
a pass may be ok, at least playing matchpoints.

Ok, I also consider 2♣ as GF... In your case I can understand the jump.

When playing 2♣ as GF, imo 3♠ doesn't encourage p for slam, it just sets the fit, and wants to know if p has extra's or not. If he hasn't, he'll bid 3NT, otherwise he'll cuebid. This way you can at least find out if you have suits unstopped before starting with slambidding, even if p has extra's. I don't expect p to start with RKC before cuebids :)

When playing 2♣ NOT as GF, then why would 3♠ be stronger than 4♠? Can't it be invitational? B)

The question is, which hands would like
to stop in 3S?
How many are there?

OK,
1) 2Clubs is not game force
2) 2D is game force, shows 1+ controls.

Hmm if possible please respond to question 2 as combined with question one focus on main issue with these hand types. Thank you in advance.

2) Whatever your rebid assume partner rebids Diamonds next what is your next rebid and why?

1. I bid 3S, tell partner the good news that we have a fit. IMHO Not good enough for an advanced cue.

2. Partner rebids 4D and I will bid 4S. Even though I have 4 Diamonds, I have none of the top 3 honors. If partner has a true "big 2 suiter," he might rebid 5D to clue me in. At which time I will bid 6D ;)
Lord, help me choose the words I use and make them short and sweet.

my 3♠ bid (question 2) after the diamond rebid by pard is meant to show the balanced hand with 3 card support

I care about the friends I have made on BBO. Also, I am extremely concerned about the environment/ ecology/ wildlife/ the little planet that we call Earth. How much more of the world's habitat and food supply for animals do we plan on destroying. How many more wetlands are we going to drain, fill, and build on? How many more sand dunes are we going to knock down in the interests of high-rise hotels or luxury homes?

3♠
to a degree a matter of partnership agreement. Did you agree to make a double negative bid first with less than a certain number of "points"? IMO, ye has JTx trump support (a good holding for J-3rd: potential entry), and an outside control. No need to jump to 4♠ on 2nd bid to show support and nothing else: you have something else. If opener wishes more information, all he/she has to do is ask! like: "you got any 8s?"------"No, go fish"!

OK, it seems finding a 4-4 minor fit after finding a 5-3 major fit is still a huge problem.

bidding is not generally geared to locating 4-4 minor suit fits after finding a major suit fit.
