G. 3 – my stiff king is now carrying full weight. I would love to bid the nine trick NT game, so I am giving partner a chance to do so. If partner bids hearts, now 3 should show a stiff honor and complete my picture.
Something that occurs to me, however, is that since 2 was not forcing, neither is 3 . Clearly it shows extras, but it's short of the values for a jump-shift.
regarding non-forcing nature of 3!D: I will never forget getting an 80 [90?] for rebidding 2!S in a mid-nineties MSC with AJ976, x, QXXXX, xx. on this very auction. Passing 3 diamonds would now take about .5 seconds P.S. 0-5-4-4 is usually bid H, then D, then Clubs if at all.[/quote]
