Help
BBO forum,
This is probably a much discussed problem here.
With me as north, the bidding starts:
N E S W
1D P 1H P
?
North holds 3H and 12-14 HCP.
My partner(S) only wants support for the major if I hold 4 cards.
I think distribution may play a part in my rebid.
With 3,3,4,3 I would bid 1NT
With 2,3,4,4 I would bid 2H
I know there are a lot of other distributions that would
affect my response.
How do you handle this situation?

Hi jerdonald,
As MrAce said, you need more shape to raise partner's one level major suit response to the 2 level with only 3 cards. Doubletons are unfortunately that: doubletons.
With ♠A ♥Qxx ♦ Qxxxx ♣ KJxx
After 1♦ - pass - 1♥ - pass -
I'd rather bid 2♥ than 2♣. 2♥ is far more constructive I feel.
