Thanks for any suggestions. While I have seen many schemes, I don't think I've found the right one yet.

(imo, RKB interpretation is insane) Logical additions: 1) After 2/1 FG & minor agreement below 4m, 4m is RKB (you may have to discuss whether the sequence 1M-2m; 4m is RKB; Dr. Rosenkranz suggests it to be, while Eddie Kantar says it is a pic. bid, maintaining that ask should follow firm suit agreement) 2) After you overcall in 2m, and advancer cue-bid to show fit, 4m can be played as RKB if it is a jump (redundant in natural meaning) I guess the default agreement maybe something like: 1) Unneccessary jump to 4m after minor agreement in constructive auction is RKB 2) After FG is established and minor agreement below 4m is in place, 4m is RKB.
