who learned you that bid?

[mycroft]

1) arguments for majors-first for 2C opener's rebid are valid, if there's enough room to resolve it all, which I have no idea about.

2) 4333 hands suck in the play, 4441 hands suck in the auction. That's been known since Roman Club. The answers are always:

2a) find a bid you feel you can afford to lose/muddle, and stick 'em in there (Precision "impossible negative", now "impossible positives", Roman 2D), or

2b) lie. How to handle the outfall if the lie, is a very interesting question, and always depends on the circumstances. If there is no lie that isn't dangerous, start looking at 2a).

 

Having said that, 2C-2D-2M-3M must show positive support, and xx (or even Hx) isn't it. Find another bid; partner's not going to be happy when he gets to slam off one ace with his "solid" AKQxx (or worse yet, off no aces with AQ9xx). If your system doesn't give you a forcing bid that you can show secondary support on the third round if you think it best, invent one. If "show support for 2C bidder's suit" isn't priority 1.001 (after "my suit is such that we're playing in it even with partner's fit", but then wouldn't you have bid it directly?), such that third-round support could be "primary support", fix that.
