Out of curiosity .. has invitational Smolen at the 2 level fallen out of fashion? (or perhaps it was never in fashion...)

 

Dunno, garbage stayman has been standard in America for as long as I have played, but maybe before I played inv smolen was common, no idea.

It depends on what he meant by smolen. Smolen to me means responder bids his 4 card major when hold 4-5 in order to make NT opener declarer if there is a 5-3 fit. And used for gf hands.

 

That was never std or on fashion when it comes to invitation bids at 2 level for obvious reasons.
