Yes, the North hand is probably to weak to use Stayman and show 5-4, but assume North is a human.

Why should 3D be a limit+ raise

2S is NF, so a minimum hand bids pass, 3-card and min can bid 3S, and max with 3-card can bid 4S. As 2S is NF, opener should pass with double and minimum. 2N is max, but double spade. 3Mi is non-existing - If defined it should be a 6-card nat, NF.

BBA uses "support cue bid" whenever possible. Sometimes there are too many bids and sometimes too few. Why "2N is max" ?

ThorvaldAagaard commented 1 month ago

It should not use "support cue bid" unless clearly defined - until now the most expensive agreement you have implemented

2N is max without support to be able to make very light invites. Opener pass with minimum as we prefer to play on a 5-2 instead of 2N, so 2N gives responder a chance to bid 3N is it was a good invite

S shows 54 majors and 8+hcp. At this point we are no longer talking about any pass or NT.

You are wrong. With 23 in majors we can still pay 2N. North is not 8+, yes, 8 hcp, but not strong enough to GF, so 8-9 hcp

As stated above 2S is NF, so a minimum hand bids pass, 3-card and min can bid 3S, and max with 3-card can bid 4S. As 2S is NF, opener should pass with double and minimum. 2N is max, but double spade. 3Mi is non-existing - If defined it should be a 6-card nat, NF.
