Partner is the dealer...NV to all...

Bidding...
P-(P)-1♣-(1♠)
P-(P)-2♦-(2♥)
3♦-(3♠)-4♥-(P)
?

Do you agree with my bidding? 3♦ in this situation was not discussed. I figured a reverse opposite a passed hand must show a good hand and strong game interest. I wasn't sure if it was better to bid 4♥ or 4♠. The 4♥ bid was mean't to show a distributional monster...What would you do over 4♥ at any scoring? Are you expecting the hand I had shown, or should I have gone another route? My thoughts were that by doing a ♦ reverse first, then jumping in ♣, or showing ♣ again after ♦ support is shown, that I can better describe my hand. Partner can possibly make a negative double after 1♠, but she is still learning and the hand isn't that great either.

The opponent showing both majors is bidding after you...

Your hand...
♠: -
♥: A
♦: AK96
♣: A9876543

Partner's hand...
♠: K85
♥: 9874
♦: QJ74
♣: JT


Thanks for the advice.

I have edited the post a bit...had worded a few things wrong.

3D is clear for me. You have a tough call over 3H. 4H is fine though (though it does sound like you're 6-5 rather than 8-4). Over 4H, partner should bid 4S, then maybe 5C-5D-pass, though I wouldn't blame opener for jumping to 6D, it just needs normal breaks in the context of the opponents having a big double fit and only competing to the 3 level.

I like to call 8 card suits..one thing....trumps.

prefer 5c after pard passes 1s. in fact I may open 5c in third seat.

again not sure why my opp with ten spades are not bidding much when not vul so this entire auction feels off.

Ace empty suits doesn't play very well opposite void, not even against singleton. Bidding many diamonds sounds right, not sure if 6 or 7, obviously 6 is right with this hand.

Partner will go back to 6♦ with 4-1 in the minors.

On this hand he passes. Six Clubs is a MUCH better contract.
