Weak hands with long suits play in the long suit. I learned it in Cardiff 1996

At least 3♦, of course. Must shut out the heart suit.
If you can't bid 3 or 4♦ because that's a fit bid or splinter, then bid 5 I guess.

something weird might work....make a negative double and then bid ♦/♥. You do have ♠ protection if worst comes to worst

5♦
KQJ983? (Is this abuse of the system?)
5♦ and I would love it even more if I were playing a limited opening system.
I once yelled at my partner for discarding the 'wrong' card when he was subjected to a squeeze that I allowed by giving the wrong count with too high a card. Now he's allowed to pitch aces when the opponents have the king in the dummy. At trick 2. When he could have followed suit. And blame me.

I guess KQJ5 means KQJ and five small.

jumps to game in a suit you can still hold extreme length in should not be anything other than natural (except 1S p 4H maybe and that ones debatable).

There's no law against playing fit-jumps in competition. 
(And didn't we agree that the KQJ5 notation just confused people, when we had a thread about it? I was expecting the standard "1S or 2H in response to 1H, with a weak hand and a good 4-card spade suit" question...)

Yeah, but when fit-jumping you need a 4th trump. If partner has a few small ♣s and opps start leading this suit from the top, you lose control completely with only 3 trumps.
KQJ983 for me

Who knows Nuno. Whatever it is a silly notation. This is the person who criticised s/t for singleton. roflmao.
5D for me by the way.
