Among experts? My impression is that most English experts play 2/1. I could be wrong.



The method is definitely catching on, but I don't think it is a majority approach. 5-card majors, on the other hand, has enjoyed a huge surge in popularity and is now the overwhelming choice among English experts.

Where do opener and responder end up with non-GF values and a 5-2 spade fit after 1S-2H? Is the last auction how such hands would be bid?



That's an interesting thought, to only bid 2/1 on invitational hands with a doubleton (or better) spade.


1♠-2♥-2♠ is not forcing, so responder can pass.
