This is for Mekeh, you can say what you want, but for thoses that will just bid up the line or by-pass a diamond to bid a major are just your "standard" bridge players. KQ65, Q874 Q1042, 8 whats your bid? 10743, K53, KQ974, 8 " 9, A643, Q87654, 96 " AK54, A6, K8743, 93 " 8, 8654, A1087432, 8 " 8, 8654, A654, Q753 " 654, 863, AQ5, 8743 " J954, Q6, 87, A10654 " 742,86,AK874, A65 " Q104, KJ5, J6543, Q9 " KJ83, void, A64, K108742 " AQ5, A843, 10,2, AQJ5 " Your partner has opened 1 club, no interference. and here partner opens 1 club and responder bids 1 diamond, so now it's openers bid after the 1 diamond by partner. AK109, AQ9, 87, 10643 what is your 2nd bid? A874, 10843m A6, AJ5 " 9643, K108, A104, AQ9 " A64, KQ95 8, AQ743 " I have no problem with Walsh, anytime you want to go to school I can teach you something. Yes, I can respond with 1 heart with gf values and a 5 carded heart suit. Walsh is so different from Standard, and Walsh bidders should ALERT, in using the 1 diamond approach and even a 1no response and the opener has responsiblity to ALERT as well.

Walter was asking for a 2/1 approach or a standard way of advancing this lay out. So being Walsh is not standard then my use of Walsh with an non-Walsh partner is mute. But that being said, in response to bidding 1 diamond with only 1 or 5 diamonds but a gf hand then a Walsh response of 1 diamond is the bid. Bidding a a major to a 1 club opener is on the first implecation to the opener that it is a weak 4 card major. But there is the "HOWEVER". With the void in hearts it would be to my estamation that 6no would be out of the question. The gf response by the responder will allow a suit agreement in clubs as well as cue bidding to finally get to 6 clubs. Not ruling out 6 spades either.

Being that with 2/1 players, with a 1!C opening there is no 2/1 bid. So if you have a response of 1!D and there is no interference the opener is either going to bid a 4 card major or he will bid a balanced 1no. With the 1!D bid which is not being used by the way as a xfer, the responder now has the option of showing a reverse. ie: 1!C, 1!D, 1!H, (1!S). That would be your reverse and a game forcing bid. Other scenarios could be 1!C, 1!D, 1no, 2!H or 2!S,. Quiet frankly I am suprised that there are not more advanced players who are not buying into Walsh.

Use Walsh to begin with. 1!C, 1!D
