1m (P) 1 (1)

How do you play the follow ups here?

2 min, 4 card
3 min, 5 card
2 inv+, 5 card?

2 can be 5 card. 3 either 6 preemptive or invitation depends on your agreement i guess and depends on what would be 1--2. Also with 4 card minimum, responder can bid 1 NT if he can. You should also discuss what 2 or 3 means over supp dbl in this auction. Make sure to agree what is forcing and what not.

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."

1N= 4 card , NF
2m= 4 card , NF (5+ cards in a new minor, 4+ cards in partner's minor)
2=minimum, could be 4 hearts
2=forcing, game try or better
2N= 4 card , invitational
3m= game try I think? or does this show an invite with 4 hearts, i.e. the same as the 2m above but with 10-ish points? good question
3=invite with 5 cards.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

As gwnn said.

2M can be 4 or 5. Using the jump to 3M as weak with six is an interesting idea but without agreement I would expect it to be invitational.
