On the first one I blame both players, opener for not bidding 4♠ (obv you are going to have to bid up to 5♥ anyway) and responder for not RKCing over their 4♠ I think I blame responder on the second one. Certainly I'd replicate opener's bids untill the double of 6♠ (and maybe even that)

I don't feel strongly between 1♦ and 1♣, but 1NT is a gross misevaluation of this hand.

strongly agree with adam

I'd do that with 7 diamonds AJT and a side Ace.

I'd have led a spade and I think the explanation is irrelevant.

I bet the worst two leads are ♣J and ♣K

Well he's already shown a weak hand with a bunch of hearts, so I'd say never or almost never

Agree with the peanut gallery

5♥ expecting to make much of the time. Hell, they might even bid 5♠

4♣:4red 4♠

6♥

I'd bid Michaels also

takeout/2 places/double unless red@imps

Unpopular I'm sure but I would open 2♦ as long as it shows a weak two. Make the suit any worse and I'd pass

2♦, the hand isn't THAT good

Regardless of what it was explained as, if p makes an impossible bid then that self-alerts as "I forgot the convention" or "I have something other than what my previous bids showed"

When partner makes a bid that's impossible according to agreements it self-alerts as "I forgot our agreements" or "I have something other than what my previous bids showed"

Lawyers make a lot of money but I don't think they're overpaid. The lawyers my age I know all work whenever they're not eating or sleeping and have huge law school debt, so they should make a lot. Athletes get paid a lot, but they're a good value for my money since I can watch them for free on TV. Also being a pro athlete basically takes 10-20 years hardcore practice growing up, so they put their time in. Most of the others fall into "I don't know enough about what they're paid or what they do"

I think the OP was trying to say "out of these, which profession has the biggest disparity between typical income earned and income you feel they should earn?" or "who's the most overpaid" I didn't read anything into the OP having to do with ethics.

1♥, although I don't think it's a non problem.

Pass, no other call makes sense.

What do you expect your partner to bid with xxx KQ10x Ax KJxx? Agree with 2♦. On han's hand I'd bid 2♥, which is not a reverse since I was forced to rebid above 2 of my suit.

After 2NT I would rebid 3♣ as North playing a style where 2♠ shows 6; then it might go: 1♠-2♦ 2♠-2N 3♣-3♦ 3♠-4♣ 4♥-4♠ 4NT-etc
