Definitely at least a limit raise imo. And a limit raise is enough even though if partner has a doubleton heart and a min and passes you might miss game.

You don't need anything close to a max hand to make a game. For instance Kxx xxx xx xxxxx is an extraordinarily good game. A random Qxx xxx Kxx Qxxx is a great game. etc etc

This is a beginner/intermediate hand not to mention that you gave no auction, no indication of their count in the heart suit, and only a vague "spades were 2 3" which I suppose means 2 on the left but is unclear and then expect us to guess whether LHO has 2 or 3 clubs. Obviously your implication is that lefty had KJ tight and should have played the king to give you the option of ducking from dummy.

Have a good one dude

uhh 39 % in 4:28 I was trying to discovery play a lot of them early on but i either forgot or couldn't see... really theres no way I could get so many otherwise lol. edit: 54 % in 1:56 on south america...ship it! edit: 37 % in 2:57 on USA. Of the 4 states I've lived in I got 2 of them right on the first try, and I got Nevada wrong where I've been like 10 times...lol BTW I really always get lost everywhere, for instance can't drive to places that are 10 miles away that I've been to 20+ times without looking at directions, can't find the playing area in hotels at bridge tournaments on like the 3rd day... can't give people directions to my house... can't understand "the northwest corner" of an intersection, etc etc. Even if I have a map I'm hopeless. I really think that there is something mentally handicapped about myself when it comes to directions and maps.

LOL

And a nine card fit is automatically enough for game? Yes clearly that is what I said. Do you have anything to contribute or are you just trolling as usual? In bridge the value of things like SHAPE and CONTROLS are amplified when you have a FIT. This is especially true with a BIG fit, or a DOUBLE fit!

I have only noticed it twice but have probably had it much more if it is .01%

North had a 4S bid and south had a 4S bid. They are both really obvious but I guess south's was more obvious since he had game in his own hand so north 30 % and south 70 %

I think bidding 3C after partner has bid 1N is totally fine since you have a guaranteed 9+ card fit in a minor. Definitely don't bid 3C over a 1M response though.

LOL

LOL

Also I wish the D5 or S5 was an 8 then you would have 1 of every card.

1S seems obvious at this vul, wouldn't mind 2 if red/white.

yep

3H

FWIW Gavin is not eligible (and Jdonn). John Kranyak also is not eligible. Jenny is eligible but is currently pregnant and is unlikely to be able to play.

2D

what do you use to show diamonds?

If you are 30 then I feel like we've known each other for a long time! haha, happy birthday hope its a good one!

time for keycard!

This seems like a wtp 2H then pass. Don't see how we can pass 1H X with this hand especially if you play 2H as 3 to 7. And competing over 2S is beyond terrible.

I would double 1S except all red MP or w/r imps. I would always double 1H.

tbh I would split and not even think about it. If declarer is going to set up 1 more heart trick he is going to put in the 8 anyways (it doesnt cost). I doubt anyone would have time to figure out whether it's really right or not to split without tanking (and then who wouldn't put in the 9 lol), but on general principles it seems like it must be right.
