GREYMOON

Hmmmm...the concensus seems to think PASS is the best bid here. Although PASS seems very enticing and the VULNERABILTY is not very condusive to further bidding, I would want to count my defence tricks. I think 3NT our way may be a little more superior contract if partner does not many CLUBS. It surely looks like the 2S bidder is very short in the red suits, which makes it a little tough to defend if partner has no spades. Note, we got to take 8 tricks to yield a good score. +500 for 3 down. Can we do this? I am not too sure. Think again! :rolleyes:

My lead is an automatic small diamond. I have an entry with the J of clubs and I will return the diamond to my partners king. We know that opener has one Ace and with the information I have, I am going to establish a diamond in my partners hand. My motto is "GGWYG" = GREYMOON, GO WITH YOUR GUT

Ok, I think we can establish that opps are going to make 4H quite easily. The question is will they bid 5H if pushed? Looks like 5H has a very good chance of making as well. Hence, I would pass the 3H bid! My reasoning is that if the opposition get to 4H, I will bid the standard 4S as expected of me. This will probably yield in a double, but that I can handle. 5H on the other hand, I cannot. So, my stance is to exhaust the options of the opposition before I make my last call.
