3 Club Jump Shift



The use of a jump response of 3C to partner's opening bid of one of a major shows a limit raise with 4 card support, 9-12 HCP and no singleton or void. This bid is found in Max Hardy's 2/1 bidding system. The weak jump shift to minors after a major opening is abandoned to help find major suit fits with game and slam potential. He also incorporates artificial bids to show stronger hands and hands with shortness.
