- I also agree that 3C is by far the BEST bid with this hand, the only
- problem is that many tournament players are unable to do this. Either they
- play Bergen raises, WJS, or assign some other conventional meaning to 3C.

- Seeing how strong jump shifts have almost been discarded in modern bidding,
- it is refreshing to see that there are still some hands which come up that
- prove they can still be of some use. (I will admit that I am as guilty as
- most everyone else; with most of my partners the only strong jump shift
- that I have available is 1H - 2S).
