How to respond to 1 spades

One of my bridge friends has convinced me to use "limix" raises.

 

The idea is that the "mixed" Bergen (we use one-under rather than 3 or Reverse 3) is dumb. Make a simple raise with that hand and enable game tries. The one-under, then, is a "limix" raise, showing a hand that values up to a limit raise because of shape. This will typically also guarantee two tricks plus a stiff. Perfect here. If you do this, a stiff-ask probably makes some sense.

 

Not using this?

 

OK. Then, I usually do something that frustrates partner with this type of hand. I'll keep the various versions to myself other than to hint at it -- masterminding. A sickness, uncontrollable in this type of situation. Something funny, perhaps.
