Hearts is probably our best fit (considering that 5-2 is better then 4-3) but the hearts are behind p. Even 1NTxx could be our best spot, considering that the long trumps would need to ruff diams. 2♥, 2♠ or 2♣ could either be better depending on p's suit qualities.

Pass, partner's guess is as good as anyone's.

No.

I have more than what I've promised. The ♠K and the ♥10 are both nice cards.

Scoring: IMPS

Weak field,Strong opponents
(1♦) 1♥ (1NT) _P
(_P) _X (XX)  ??

IMO 2♣ = 10, 2♥ = 8. _P = 6, XXX = 11
IMO, partner's X is T/O of ♦. Since I have nothing in ♦, I chicken out.

Pass works as the cards lie if partner finds the spade switch in time (if he believes you have 2 hearts he will do it).


I tried 2♣ followed by redouble when RHO doubled this, to show willingness to play on any other suit.

Partner happilly bid 2♦ and LHO doubled for no reason, the defence started with 3 rounds of trumps and we scored +280.

Why does pass work ? 1NT looks cold and may make an overtrick?

If partner switches to spade on time you should be able to cash 1♠+4♥+2♣ after a ♥10 lead.

would North really really really pass out the redouble?
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

North doesn't have a double.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

Who knows what a north that makes this double would do.
