Comments:
As a passed hand is 4C by me passable? Is 4C better then 5C? Is 3S asking
for a stopper or showing a stopper?
I was not confident either way.
And David's Response:
Hi Frank,
Partners jump to 3C is game forcing. The jump usually shows 5-5 shape
so a jump to 5C is fast arrival and weak. 4C is perfect with this hand
as the bid asks partner to cue and shows some slam interest.3S would be
"fourth suit forcing" and deny a spade stopper.
All the best,
David Beauchamp
