Hi all, My partner and I recently misbid the following hand. We are both confused how to make this not happen again. Can you help us please. Details below. Responder held: ♠Qxx ♥xxxx ♦AKxx ♣AK Opener held ♠AKJx ♥xx ♦QJxxx ♣Qx Bidding: 1D - 1H 1S - 2C* 2D - 3D 3NT - 4D* 4H* - 6D - end Opener's 1S bid confirms 5+Ds and 4Ss shape. 2C is GF. 2D is waiting - no 3 Hs, no club stopper. 3D is support, slamish. So far, all the bids were understood. I bid 3NT to show 5422; and no slam interest. But partner interpreted it as showing Qxx in clubs (and for some reason I didn't bid 2NT earlier?). I'm not sure if 3S has to be bid; and what it should mean. 4D is RKCB, and 4H is the response showing 1 keycard. 1) Who do you think your partnership would bid the hand? 2) Do you think opener should bid 3S as a cue bid even with 5422? Thanks all in advance B)
