Problem E1025 : After a redouble which promises at least 10HCP, the opener rushes to game in a major with a strong suit that will hold up even with a singleton opposite.
 
 
Without anything special to say to the responder and with a reasonable hand, the opener passes.
This is particularly the case with first-zone balanced hands. He leaves the decision to the responder. It isn't a sign of weakness, on the contrary!
