No problem, I thought it was a joke. If I double and it gets passed I
guess I will be sorry:-) I am using 'Roman Jump Overcalls' with some
hands. Roman Jump Overcalls technically defined as the jump overcall
that shows the suit bid and the higher suit (usually the next higher).
However, in modern American expert bridge, the Roman Jump Overcall is
used only after the opponent opens a weak two bid. Furthermore the
jump has to be to four of a minor. The jump shows a strong two suiter
(at least 5-5 and a solid opening bid. The 2 suits shown depend on the
two bid, but the one constant is that the overcaller has always the
minor he jumps in. A jump shows that minor and the other major. But,
if the opening bid was a weak two bid in diamonds, the jump to 4C is
clubs and either major. These jumps are typically played as forcing;
game must be played. Due to the solidity of the minor in question I
would have made an exception by bidding 4D here as 'Roman Jump
Overcall' showing a strong two suiter in diamonds and spades.
