Where do you live? Meh but you probably don't have much as clearly you must get robbed a lot :)

IMO the claim button is not used enough!!! So I would object to any changes that limit when you can claim.

Are you out of green cards or is your "paas" button broke?

Gwnn's subtitle may apply to your post.

As captain of the ship you should have this sailor keel-hauled

I suspect there is a big difference between raising to 3♥ and raising to 4♥ but opposite a cold vul slam -1100 is peanuts.

While none of the replies complained about the lack of an auction. It could be a critical component of how to play the hand. Even a non competitive auction lets the responders to your post know what the information outflow is to the defenders and which could impact how they defend.

whack

If you are going to try for an ovary then you need to do ASAP to minimize information outflow. Win the ♠K and lead a ♦ to the K

1] overcall 1♦ with 1♥...now pass 2]X should show a TOX of ♠ 3]pass ...your verbage should be "game all" not "love all" unless what is in the parentheses is really (all white}

Well I see lots of goods plans posted, but the bottom line is if the opps bid 6♠ bidding 7♥ has to be near automatic. So there is something to be said for just sucking it up and bidding 7♥ now. This clearly leaves the last guess to the opps :) Also, Surely 5♠ is a possible call. If partner is allowed to bid 6♦ you can take the reasonable 7♥ call with fairly good expectation of making.

I expect 4♠ shows a hand stronger than 3♠ shows a hand stronger than 2♠ shows more than a minimum TOX

I still would not lead a minor because your ♣ spots vacuum and partner would have to call 2♦ for me to even consider leading them.

It is certainly easier to compete if you know something about the opps agreements for example they play Smolen.

this is clearer than the OP's auction. A splinter for ♠

clearly partner holds 4+ ♠, your diamond spots vacuum, your partner would have to X ♣ to lead that suit, so your choices are a small♥ or the T♠. The T♠ looks to have the least positive impact on declarer's trick total and you may have time to effectively switch to ♥ so lead that.

depends on your doubling structure. If partner's bidding shows the equivalent of a strong 2♣ then call 3♠. If your partner has some discretion between 2, 3, and 4 ♠ then while he holds xtras pass should be clear.

presumably you are leading into a 46xy hand so you need to get any minor suit winners fast. If dummy holds AK♣ away goes any hope of 2♦ winners while the dummy holding AQ♦ requires declarer to finesse. Lead a ♦

1) 5♦ ....not 5♣ they already know you have a ton of diamonds minimize the information outflow 2) pass and try and beat it 3) Do I get to see dummy b4 I play? 4) 3♦ if that is a help suit game try ...pass partner's decision

yeah, I basically don't know squat about ACOL and if I have to bid 2♦ with this hand I know too much about it already :)

based on your scale I choose some negative number. Anyone who calls 3NT holding 54 majors on this auction needs to borrow my Tantō ASAP before he is shot.

South's hand is a constructive raise in most 5 card major systems. So I presume in ACOL a downgrade to 1NT is probably best.

MPs - maybe no big thing either way IMPS - no way Jose'

I dislike sitting in front of a player who has freely bid both black suits, suits where I have 2 kings and 3343 distribution, enough that I will pass here. I'm not saying you will never make slam here but I expect bad things to happen enough that I think the %age decision is pass.

As I have the equivalent of 2 tricks more than partner expects I try 6♦
