but on his profile it stated 2cl-3cl ------ is STAYMAN.
INTERESTING--SO I ASSUME 2D RESPONSE =NO 4 CARD MAJOR.
scenario you hold as responder KQ10x--jxx--1098x-98 s/h/d/c so 3cl
can hold 1 major or 2 majors.
or 4/4/2/3 with same values hence 3cl
or 2/3/4/4 with same values hence 2d
so if responder has a 5 card suit minor wise and same values
I presume it goes 2cl 2d 2n/t 3nt amen

I didn't understand most of this post - probably a language thing. But if I saw "2cl-3cl ----- is stayman" in a profile I would assume he is trying to say in shorthand that 1N-2C is stayman and 2N-3C is stayman. I don't know if that affects the rest of the OP

There's no need for you to start calling names, you already behave enough like an idiot. You should be happy someone tried to decipher your post all the way to the end after starting your post with "2♣-3♣ is stayman", finding that interesting, and abusing the caps lock key.
Deducting a minor card is obvious, but a 4=4=1=4 is a much more interesting holding than a 4=4=2=3. Apparently I overrated your capabilities to realize that.

Let me be an even more "clever dick" by pointing out that amended is written with only 1 'm'.
Edit: changed M to 'm' on helene's request.

1 m, please. It is impolite to use caps.

i assume some form of relay comes into play-if responder has 1 major
e.g 2cl 3cl 3d now says i have hts-responder bids 3 spades,and
the 2clubber knows responders hand.
also assume 2cl-2d=zilch-then 2n/t must mean something, and can be passed
obviously what is the range of the 2cl opener...........
Reference capitals-there is no offence meant,but then USA,there is a "BEE"
in someones bonnet---- and if there was a 14th card entered,again no offence intended,a polite gesture would be to point it out.
without a lowly sarcastic comment,But then bridge players rise to the occasion cannot help them selves.
Please "Free" never read anything of mine on the Forum,you are excused :)
