My impression so far is a bid of 2C by partner shows a good support and one defensive trick,a 2S is preemptive with likely short hearts but no defensive trick ,3C bid shows good support and two outside defensive trick a 3S shows a preemptive hand, as does 4S bid ,to take away a leeway from opponents.I am open tu better suggestions.Since I play LTC I would reply to the three hands posed by Mr.Ace,2S,4S and 2S respectively and will not bother about the results. I don't have the slightest idea how a passed hand can make a jump cue bid when partner has only over called at one level.I am open to enlightenment.
