this is your hand. ♠KJxx ♥KQTxx ♦A ♣Jxx And if your partner's hand is like : ♠ATxx ♥x ♦xx ♣AQxxxx after your 2♥ bid you force him to gamble : cause you say you could be bidding it when you have 4 or less spades firstly if you have 4 spades; * and If he assumes you dont havet 4 spades, and if he bid 2NT then you will never be aware of your spade fit. (NT , you will have to play after this bid) secondly, if you dont have 4 spades; * and if he assumes you might have 4 spades and bids 2♠ then you will also need to face another gamble : "stop at 2NT or bid 3NT" (anyone who bids 3NT after these bids can be forgiven) let me tell you what this hand to do with 2♠ : because your partner cant see your hand , with this bid you will maximize his information about your hand , which is much more effective to decide rather than maximizing possible biddings left....
