good raise

[portia2]

What is the difference between:

 

1♦- 1♥ - 3♥(showing a good raise) and

1♦- 1♥ - 2♥?

 

Many thanks

1) one shows extras

2) two denies extras

 

 

tell me one 1d promises

1) A hand worth approximately 17 that can include good red cards with a black singleton or a soft flat 18.

 

2) Any hand worth a weak notrump with 4 hearts. Might have shape but proceed with caution ie. make a new suit game try a lot of the time and respect a signoff in 3♥

2♥

Might be on 3 cards. Max 14 Support Points. 7 losers.

Balanced or unbalanced.

 

3♥

Minimum 4 trumps. Likely Balanced. Generally 15-17 Support Points. 5 or 6 losers. Some say must be 4225 shape. Depends how you use jump reverses.

First sequence :

3♥= I have extra values with 4-card ♥ support, 14-17hcp invitational hand. Note if really hold 14-15hcp, opener usually have s/v in some suit.

 

Second sequence :

2♥=limited raise with 11-bad 15hcp, usually 4-card ♥ support. maybe 3-card support with s/v in some suit.
