Is this possible? If so, what kind of hand would you expect?

Yes, I would play it shows about 16-18 with the expected shape of 5-6. Same as if I rebid 3♦ now regarding strength. 2♠ would be a 5-6 minimum.

ya for sure, it shows less than a jump shift but a strong hand.

I don't know if jdonn was serious about 16-18 or if he meant with shape included or something, but that is obviously going to be a jumpshift most of the time with 5-6 shape. Heck AKxxx x x AKxxxx is a jump shift and thats "14 points."

I would bid this way with KQTxx x x AKJxxx or similar. 1C 1H 1S 1N 2S could be a 10 count or something so you would have to jump with a hand that strong.

Obv by "16-18" i mean "the range between minimum and jump shift" which yes for this shape is going to be something like about 14-15 in actual high cards depending on the hand. Lazy explaining :mellow:

since 1♦ denied 5 spades for me, this has to show a highly concentrated hand with 4 spades and 6 diamonds, something like AKJ10 x KQJ9xx xx

1♦-1♥-1♠-1NT-3♠ ? A hand such as KJxxx x AKQxxx x . Opener quite properly preferred the long, strong diamonds to the weaker spades, and did not wish to force to game over 1♥ as partner might cover none of his losers whatsoever -- 7 tricks at a diamond contract would not be a shock. Responder's 1NT rebid was a bit more encouraging; his failure to rebid hearts increases the chance of 3 spades or 2+ diamonds. 3♠ is descriptive and highly encouraging if responder fits either suit.

Note that in SAYC, at least, opening the longer suit with 5-6 would be normal; and there is no reason to assume 1♦ denies 5 spades if the extent of the agreement is "SAYC" or "2/1 GF" . Some experts might prefer to open 1♠ holding xxxxx x AKQxxx A, but that would not be an overwhelming choice.

Not really, but my first question counter question
would be an inquiry about the forcing nature
of 1S.

If the 1S bid is forcing, ... than would say that
3S just creates a game, contrary to a 2S bid,
which would just show a 6-5 hand with at most
15/16HCP.

If the 1S bid is nonforcing, I would say, that a
hand, which wants to bid 3S in the 3rd round to
create a game forcing auction, could have bid 2S
the round before.

With kind regards

Of course this exists, and of course it shows an invitational 5-6.

It's much simpler to come at this question from responder's perspective. It simply says: I expect us to make 10 tricks with ♦ as trump, or 9 tricks with ♠ as trump, even though you have shown no fit for either suit. If responder is xx QJxxx x KJxxx, he should probably pass. Holding xx in both suits, he should prefer 4♦.

IMHO, most of the constructions people have offered would satisfy this criterion.

♠AJxxx

♦AKQxxxx

Responder held:

♠Tx
♥K9xx
♦T
♣QTxxxx

Responder passed 3♠, which failed by one trick.

Because that is how you would bid KTxxx x J AQxxxx?

So 2♠ is not constructive? Without game interest I think I might as well bid 2♦, at least at matchpoints. I would interpret 2♠ as invitational.

I wouldn't think so. With a 5-6, game is still possible with a minimum opening, so the 5th spade needs to be shown.
