A

IS A SPLINTER (NOTE THE JUMP) CONFIRMING SPADES AS TRUMPS AND SHOWING SINGLETON/VOID IN DIAMONDS. NOTE: THIS IS NOT FOURTH SUIT FORCING AS THIS IS A JUMP BID TO 3D (A 2D NON-JUMP IS FOURTH SUIT FORCING).10-15 PTS, 4 PIECE SUPPORT.

19
Q

1C-1H-1S-2D

21

25
Q

1H 1S 2C 2D

1D 1H 1S 2C

A

FOURTH SUIT FORCING. 2C IS FOURTH SUIT FORCING. 2NT = STOPPER IN CLUBS. 3H BY 2C BIDDER MEANS JUST WANT TO MAKE A FORCING 3H BID (AS SEVEN HEARTS). IMMEDIATE BID OF 3H INSTEAD OF 2C WOULD HAVE BEEN HIGHLY INVITATIONAL, BUT FOURTH SUIT MAKES THE HAND GAME FORCING.

27
Q

NB 1C 1S 2D 2H
