- I'm just echoing Hardy's system, it's not to say I support it. Since he plays
- 5cm, you have a good fit already. If opener does have 5c in clubs, he will
- bid it in response to Jacoby NT, so that fit gets found anyway. I would think
- it would more important to find out if opener has a stopper in diamonds, so
- probing for a singleton in diamonds is useful.
