With just 1 Jack you bid a Negative 2.
Partner now bids 2♠. What is your bid?


Partner's bid of a suit is absolutely forcing, no matter how you feel about it. But now is the time you tell him you have fewer than 3 points by using the Second Negative. You bid 3♣.
Partner now says 3. What do you say?

Partner now says 3. What do you say?


No, you still may not pass. First, because partner's bid of a new suit is forcing. Second, because even if you were not forced you prefer his first suit. So you bid 3♠ and he passes.
