Why can't I just have x AJxx Kxx AKxxx for 1♥? Well maybe it's a bad idea to let them find their spade fit, partner should have introduced his hearts with any 7-count or better.

I think 1♥ has to show the strong hand with hearts. You can't pass with five hearts and an 18 count, but you also can't bid 2♥.
With clubs and a side suit of hearts, you can bid 2♣ or double for takeout, and it won't be a disaster.
The easiest way to count losers is to line up the people who talk about loser count, and count them. -Kieran Dyke

Polish club is a fine system, however, Fantunes Lite is a Little better as all one of a suit are forcing one round. If you are interested in a playable Fantunes system visit www.fanfantunes.n.nu

This is just spam. I saw your system already and I wasn't interested.

Nothing wrong with an old fashioned 2H here. If pard's trapping apologize afterwards.

Your rational for this is? Just because all 1 level bids are forcing certainly does not make Fantunes better, but significantly worse in my opinion.

And this is better why exactly? Because you would've opened 1♥ after which opps intervene with 2♦ and you have to rebid 3♥ to show some extra strength? Polish club stays at 2-level to show 18+ with ♥s, that seems better to me... :rolleyes:
