partner opens 1♠, RHO passes, you're playing 2/1

if you bid 1N partner will bid 2♣, whats your next call
you're not playing Bart or any other special toys

1N and then 2N over 2♣. Some will bid 2♥, but I think thats the wrong approach.

2N, could be a silly contract but p will bid a 3-card hearts now if he has it and a little extra.

If p bids 3♠ now then I'm allowed to fluke at the system once in a while.

If this is imps I'll just make a slight overbid and go with 2♥. Life will probably be much simpler then.

Hi,

1NT seems clear.

And I guess, openers 2C bid could be made
on a 3 carder?

Ok, 2H is an underbid, and should show
a 6 carder anyway.
I would go with 3C, the alternative being
3H, if I have agreed, that this is a fit jump.

With kind regards
Marlowe

PS: Please dont tell me, 2C could be made
on a doubleton ...
With kind regards

after 2♣ I'd bid 2♦ showing 5 hearts.

With no agreements I like 2NT rather than 3♣.

1N 2N, I will give this a WTP. Switch to bart afterwards.

I don't think this qualifies for "WTP" There clearly is a problem with this sequence, although your presumed point that there are no good alternatives may be valid. If I had held this hand I would have at least considered a 2♥ response.

Noble imagine pard having the same hand with majors changed and minors changed. it's a wtp opener but what game are we going to make? yuck!
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Right but my point is there is the chance a direct 2♥ will run afoul of a hand like that but then what if partner is 5323 or 5314 and passes 2NT when 4h is cold? There are problems both ways. I think 1NT,2♥ is a reasonable sequence as well with this hand despite the extra strength. I would also bid 1N 2N but dont think its auto.

The action chosen at the table was 1NT,2♥. Partner (me) had K6xxx K98 10 AKxx and raised. If this hand had bid 2NT it still would have worked out since I would have bid 3♥ over 2NT so the decision was irrelevant on the actual hand.
