We need the form of scoring also. At MPs, PASS. At IMPs, very close between PASS and 3.

I also think that this is a DNE (does not exist) auction at IMPs. Partner told her whole story with 1NT, she cannot now override your decision. Given that . . . maybe I should PASS at IMPs also. Before partner gets us in even deeper.

Hi,

Pass, but 3D may well be better.
Opener should be 5332, with max., if he has 5 diamonds.

With kind regards

I wonder what partner is up to. Both hands are limited, and we found an 8+ card fit at IMPs. We may not even have half the high cards.

So what is he trying to do with 2? If I believe his bidding, he must be 3253. Maybe he senses ops will balance into hearts, and is trying to obstruct that?

Whatever. I know we have a 9 card fit versus 7 in spades. That's enough to raise the level, so 3. As a side benefit, this also protects partner's possible Kx from the opening lead.
