You can't say "sorry gtg" or anything like that. You have ♠xx, ♥AKTx, ♦AJ9x, ♣Jxx Bidding: 1♦(by you) - 2♣ - 2♠ - pass ? B) Please, do not try to covince me to 4 card major or weak NT.
That's why post-mortem is so important :( , How can I have 4 tricks in ♣ and ♠ with maximum of 9-10 HP, look at your KQJ in ♦, you know about my ♥ shortness. So it was a "do something" double partner :rolleyes:
Double! Let your partner go wrong. It sould promiss 2-2,5 def trick outside ♦ so he will pass with 1,75 like ♦A and ♥J9xx, othewise he'll bid 5♦. And, after you can always "adjust" your post-mortem.
♦Q for now. Partner has 3 - 6/7 HP i'd like to discover where they are. Imagine you take ♦ and play ♥ - decl wins ♥ 9 and play ♠ - would you play ♠A ? If not - your partner has KTxx in ♦, if yes Jxxx.
Didn't notice 14-16 NT, drop all Ts from my previoust post. Strongly disagree with 3♥ bid. Why not 2NT ? or even 3NT io 4♦ ? He should know that ♦ AK is wrong for slam.
