Scoring: IMP

(1♣)-1♠-(P)-P,
(X)-P-(P)- ?


Partner could have a good 4 card suit for the overcall.

Teams, what's your decision? If the context of the match matters, include that in your answer, if not, great.

On the previous round I would have bid 2♥ not forcing.
Now, I still bid 2♥.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Run, and be happy about it. You have a good 6 card suit, and apparantly RHO has got spades controlled. Even if it's a 6-1 heart fit your hearts will take 0 tricks in a spade contract and probably like 4 tricks in hearts.

2♥! When I saw what this question was going to be I assumed we would have no good place to run, but we actually have a great place.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Thanks, that was a reality check. I ran, turns out this time it didn't work well (I don't remember partner's hand precisely, but it included AK98xx of spades and a singleton heart; RHO penalty passed on a 4 card suit to the J empty. Yikes!)

How can you run on these cards? Pard is marked with a strong 6 card spade suit and LHO has the hearts bottled up!

:P

Of course you run. It is absolutely clear.

2H. I have a nice suit. Pd's cards are far more likely to help me than vice versa.

Certainly run now, ofc.
