oops ! Missed this one ! Happy b-day, Frederick !! <_<

3♣

4♠

2♠ vul and 3♠ (if I was NV)

For now you are right, 23-0! I don't recall ever seeing that, the keyboard monkeys ruin everything even if the hand was AKxx x AKxx KQxx. 23-1! Probably the teacher ! LOL :) :(

Pass and hope to act later too. I don't want to loose the ♠ suit and if I open 2♦, partner will not expect this shape. Alain

I'd become a martyr :P I've got kids, so that's not an option. :P Lol :D As you, ready to die for that Dbl ! :P

I play : X = T/o 4-4 1NT = ♠/4,♥/5 2♣ = 5-5 2♦ natural 2NT = 2-suiter very distributional Alain

A good inv hand with ♠ that doesn't want to dbl (not much HCP's, no support for one of the other suits...)

Partner is more or less forced to re-open if short in ♦ so I don't have the courage to sit for it... ;) 3♥ Alain

2♠/3♥

Given your agreements I think that the GF bid is 3♥. Now the problem is to be sure it is GF and so be able to bid 4♦ on 4♣ to show a better hand than 5♦ and hear a ♥ control ! But is the hand really better ? Poor diamonds, two hearts.... I would have missed this one too! Alain

Yes, time to enter the bidding now or it's finished ! ;)

I agree ! If you want to make a slam try then you have 3 bids between 3♣ and 3NT to show something (or maybe 3♦ to ask for shortness)....

I can beat that. I will give it -10. :) Roland Agree ! LOL

5♠

I agree, 5♣ for me too

If I bid, I bid 2♠ which seems the most reasonnable action.

I lead my single ♠ 1♠ can be anything and minors seem dangerous (I don't want to choose one or the other) Alain

This is a "don't lead a ♥ partner" double. Partner could have dbled ♣, so it's beween ♠ and ♦ and leading from that Jxxx is not very attractive... I go for a ♦ Alain

Too strong for 4♠, I dbl first and I bid 5♠ if opps bid 5♣

I don't think more than 1 second to pull it ! :lol: 4♠ !

Exactly ! :lol:

For me too that why I had put '12-' in my post ! :) Well, not in my book, what about ♦/5 + ♥/4 ?? :lol: (1NT rebid ? and fit with 3451 ??)

And what do you say when you have the natural 2NT (11-12-) ??? <_<
