You're South in 3rd chair.

Scoring: MP

p p 1h 2d
3d p ?

Your style is to open most 12s except the really ugly ones. You do open 11s with 5431 shape or even 5332s with some compensation such as a decent suit, so xxx Axx xx AQJxx would be an opener.

4♥. I might go down opposite spade wastage, but I am confident I will make more often than not, perhaps 2/3 of the time.

Also partner may be allowing for a light 3rd seat opener.

[gwnn]

4♥, I know the theory about 3 cards in their suit but this really is a nice hand.

[Fluffy]

listen to gwnn, he offers you common sense

[JLOGIC]

It's certainly possible that we have a slam but I would never try for it

I prefer to have three than to have two and I too voted for bidding game. (also note that I managed to get all three of "to, two and too" in one sentence).

You managed to use "to" two times too.

Easy 4H here (you make 6! opposite xxxx Axx x AQxxx so stopping in 3 is.....)

[Siegmund]

6 losers! A really chunky trump suit! An ace of diamonds, so you are assured that the defence can't start with cash-cash-ruff!

You could talk me into a cuebid more easily than you could talk me into signing off at 3.

[Phil]

I know the hand and I bid 4♥ when I first saw the hand and have not been convinced otherwise that this is wrong.

[ArtK78]

This poll is threatening to become the first unanimous poll in the history of these Fora.

No doubt someone is going to come along and mess it up.

[gwnn]

there was one and it's not hard to find it, Art. it's in the "hands of the decade" thread but I am reluctant to provide a direct link to it here.

[bluecalm]

Wow I am amazed to see everybody bids 4♥.
Count me in too !

WRONG! not that I chose 3♥ as I thought 4♥ was a WTP. Still you get more honest results if they are anonymous.

That's what you think! (I was the 3H voter)

[rogerclee]

John Mohan is a very good player, but I still don't really get 3H. Maybe they were playing precision, maybe he was playing with a client who doesn't know to go low with 2H if it's close, or maybe he just thought it was percentage. At the end of the day he is only one (very strong) expert, and I really doubt 3H is the expert majority view.
