Help
I don't see any reason to bid again with that hand either (the Qx AKxxx xxx xxx). 2H seems like a good spot.
I'd never make a Fit Jumpsuit with xxx in partner's suit, so there is no other way to show those hands. Perhaps you are right and this is just a difference in style, but I have only one word for that kind of FSJ: UGLY!
Up for a light game?

FSJ? What's that?
Fit Suit Jump - a bid which shows a 5+ card suit and implies a fit (usually 4 cards if made with a jump) in partners suit
See Andy Robson's /Oliver Segal great book (Partnership Bidding @ Bridge)
which has chapter and verse on when and with what one uses this kind of call
Have a few aspirin available also!

This book seems to be out of print. They are asking 50-60$ for used copies. Anyone know a bookseller still selling it for old price?

For the longest times there was a PDF version of it floating around. I know that Dan Neill has or at least had it on his webpage at http://www.geocities...neill_2000/sys/
You might try that. And if that fails to work, you might try google and see if it is in the google cache somewhere. IF I remember correctly the PDF is zipped with a file name PartnershipBiddingAtBridge.Zip (the file name is same as book).
Now, if you find such a file, be sure to run anti-virus checks and all.....
There are conflicting stories about the online version. One is that it is ok to get a copy of it. The other is that it is a copyright violation to post it.
