♠ 9xx ♥ x ♦ KQJ98xxx ♣ x
opps are vul, partner is dealer
1♠-(2♣)-??

IMO 5♦ = 10, 2♦ = 9, 3/4♦ (fit jumps) = 4, _P = 3, 2♠ = 2, _X = 1
Not a success when partner turns up with ♠ AKxxx ♥ Jxx ♦- ♣ AQxxx
But such are the vicissitudes of life :D
Fit jumps can help partner in a competitive auction but normally show better support and on this hand you want to play in ♦ not ♠. Double is misdescriptive and masochistic: how do you rate 2♣X when partner holds ♠ AKxxx ♥ Qx ♦ xx ♣ AKxx?

It's true though, and works for boys too.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.
