Vul against Not, scoring IMPs Playing SAYC, bidding goes (P)-1♠-(P)-2♣ (P)-5♣-(P)-? 872 QJ Q3 KQT873 What is your next bid?

:D I quite confused here now, so after the 1NT-X, Pass first then come in 2♥ later if got chance? and bid 2♥ direct here shows a strong hand with ♥? Then wat bout XX, although I think XX with all strong hands may then lose the space to show the ♥ suit easily later in the bidding. :P

Always love to learn and improve in the game. :D The full hand is shown above. I personally do not agree with the X by North, I prefer a 1♥ overcall. The poll suggests a X, but most of the replies here suggests a Pass. I guess it pays to be conservative at IMPs, as we never know what monster declarer has, and we would not want to convert a part-score into a game for them. ;) Oh, the final contract is 3DX= with less than ideal defence :P What I am not sure, however, is with my holding and after the takeout X, isn't -2 quite likely, thus easily getting plenty IMPs? And I also always thought that shows a X-rebid hand in ♥, but guess Frances is right lol...otherwise 4♥ would be an easy bid. Also for the play, is it always a down 2 for this hand no matter how well the declarer plays? On a ♥ lead, with better defence of course. :lol:
