Same here.

Up to now, I am the only one who bids 4♣.

you are not alone.

same here.

4♥ as well.

That's my thought, too.

4♥

Since you didn't want to play 3NT, I would think 4NT as blackwood (or RKC for ♦).

I myself don't care much if my name is listed or not. For the three sets of problem, I was not a winner, but above median (I voted too late on 2nd set. would have been above median as well). For some questions I score low, I still think my choice was the best. So even if I score below median, I wouldn't feel humiliated.

me, 4 ========================= please delete this duplicate for me.

me, 4

Sure, I will.

Pass. There are cases I have to let opps play 1-level contract, and this is one of them. To balance with such a hand only helps opps find better fit. And the ♠ finesse will work for them.

That's my thought, too.

This is not accurate. 2/1 promises another bid unless opener rebid 2NT. So 2NT from opener is NOT forcing, but shows a minimum balanced hand.

5♣ with any pd.

The theroy of "2S as cue-bid" is absurd, imo.

4♠.

small !S from both hand at trick #2.

I am with Jimmy. Even with MPs, I am satisfied with 20 tricks. :)

3♥ sounds good to me. Pass is the last option I would ever think of.

Yep, 5♣ exclusive RKCB.

1♦ - 1♠ 1NT - 2♣ (or 2♦ if play xyz) 2♠ - 4NT 5♥-6♠

You mean (at least) 8-card fit is not adequate?

totally agree.
