arrows Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 It's similar to my 2nd solution. I prefer to show 5-4 in majors by 2d because I can pass it with weak hand and a lot of diamonds (I opened 1d). Giving up strong jump shift has another problem:1d-1h2d-?What do you bid with 6heards and invit hand?What do you bid with 6heards and GF hand? For me, giving up the natural meaning of 1♦-2♦ is too much, giving upthe SJS seems more reasonable. 1♦-1♥2♦-? I can argue that here 2♥ is invitational, because 2♦ is alreadya playable partial and it's hard to justify why 2♥ is a better spot. Thus jumping 3♥ is GF. Okey, let's suppose we really really want 2♥ to be "weak to play", we canstill use AI (artificial invitation or "the 3rd suit forcing") to solve the problem,again, jumping 3♥ is GF.
