I think I may bid 2♥. Not a great bid but Pass isn't better in my opinion.

2♦ is either a psyche bid or the opponent didn't realise that 2♦ is multi or something. I'll pass.

I will say my opinion: 6♦ looks OK to me. 6♥ isn't pass correct or something. My partner knows that I have ♥ or ♦ but since his RHO has bid 6♦ he knows I am with ♥ which also means to the opponent that my partner has honours in the two other suits. The X in my opinion means partner I have a trick which is most likely A♣, so 6♠ is reasonable.

I think I must explain some things. 3♠ is Gambling (can be a major) with maximum one side Queen. 6♥ means that the partner of the 3♠ opener has found which is the suit (♥). I am not quite sure what the X of 6♥ means, I was bidding with the 3♠ hand and I still won't post what happened in this board (it was truly on vugraph).

To make it even more interesting (not only for you), you are playing on first table, last round, on vugraph :rolleyes:

[hv=pc=n&e=sakjt8hdakqj643cq&d=w&v=0&b=8&a=p3s(Gambling%2C%20can%20be%20a%20major%2C%20solid%20suit%2C%20max%20one%20side%20Q)6d6hdp]133|200[/hv] Second problem: What do you bid assuming you overcalled 6♦ and this is what happens (this is what happened in our table). IMPs.

I think it is pretty much time to say the outcome. [hv=pc=n&s=s9hat9832dk732c83&w=sjt76532hdcakj976&n=sakhk6daqjt96ct42&e=sq84hqj754d854cq5&d=s&v=b&b=7&a=2h3h4hpp4sdppp]399|300[/hv] I must admit that now I disagree with my bid of 3♥ but that's what happened at the table and 4♠x+1 was the score which was mostly seen on all the tables.

[hv=pc=n&w=sjt76532hdcakj976&n=sakhk6daqjt96ct42&d=s&v=b&b=7&a=2h]266|200[/hv] You are dealt a beauty in second seat, South preempts with 2♥, both vul. What do you bid with West's hand? Then, what do you bid with North's hand over West's interruption?

Dbl too, not far from 3NT

Yep, I'd go for 5♦ too without any doubt.

Yes, but is this the best line?
