When partner has aided your opening minor bid
it is safe to show a very weak major suit, because
partner can shift you back if he cannot properly aid
your second suit. (On the hand shown below
partner will aid your opening bid of i-Club, when
overcalled by A's i-Diamond, then you may safely
shift to 2-Hearts. Game can be made at the latter
declaration but not at clubs).

After having shown your two suits, if they are
of about equal strength, rebid your lower suit so
that partner may shift to the higher without increase of contract; if your higher suit is the stronger
you may rebid it to make that fact plain. (Rebid
hearts on the first hand shown below but on the
second again bid spades, after having in both instances shown both spades and hearts,)
