Bidding hint from Eddie Kantar’s “52 Facts of Bridge Life”: “A direct raise of a second suit promises four card support (in blood). You hold: S. xx H. A10x D. A10x C. K10xxx. Partner bids 1 S. You bid 2 C. Partner 2 H. You? Rebid 2NT showing 11-12 high-card points. Don’t even think of raising hearts with only three.”
