Gitelman's major suit raises above 3M?

[cwiggins]

In his "Improving 2 over 1" series of articles, Gitelman describes major suit raises at 3M and below which save 2NT as natural.

 

What does he play or recommend above 3M?

 

Some systems use 3M+1 for 10-12 HCP SPL undisclosed and higher bids for 13-15 HCP splinters.

 

Other systems fold the 13-15 HCP splinters into the strong raise and use bids for balanced hands (or the "good" 1M-4M raise).

 

Thanks for any help you can provide.

In my regular partnerships I use:

 

1H-3S=Any 10-12 splinter

1H-3NT=13-15 spade splinter

1H=4C/D=13-15 splinter

 

1S-3NT=Any 10-12 splinter

1S-4C/D/H=13-15 splinter

I guess Fred's answer is an authoritative answer for what Gitelman does? :)

 

Thanks for taking the time to reply!
