He was trying to zing AWM. OleBerg was collateral damage.

No, I wasn't hoping for anybody in particular. I was hoping for a reaction though.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

- It's the only way to avoid tiresome discussions on the lines of "It's standard to play it as x". "No it isn't." "It's standard in 2/1." "Who said we're playing 2/1?" "2/1 is standard." "No it isn't - in Barbados Precison is standard."

... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

How about 2♥, 2♦, 8♠ and 1♣ with double honours in hearts, diamond and an ace but no more in spades- after you denied spades so much there is no other good option then 4 hearts.

I think... you can bid 3♠ with that!
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

6♠, 3♥ I guess would be the logical meaning, probably 22 with relatively little in the way of high cards in the minors.
Opener's bids do not make sense to me except as a picture bid sequence showing 6+ spades not good enough to bid 3S directly over 2H, exactly 3 hearts, and crap in diamonds and club.
But why not raise 2H to 3H with that hand?

in the hopes of being able to show more in the same space
Partner will rebid 2NT very often and then 3H is a great description. If he rebids 3m, 3H is normally just 2 cards so it's bad for us. Give and take, what goes around comes around, yin and yang.
