Pd's failure to double says it's probably a double fit for both sides. I will bid 4D, which in this auction for me is strongly invitational, as he should have at least 5 diamonds, and I want to take bidding space away from the opps. Second choice is 5D.

 

That said, I wouldn't quarrel with most of the other bids.

I'll start with a stopper-showing 2♠. My QT's and shape steer this hand toward 3N. There's a good chance that we have a trick source in either minor.

 

I'm wrong siding it if pard has a 1/2 stop, but thats life.

 

Alright - 3♠....LHO hasn't called the director yet :)

[Mr. Dodgy]

insufficient bid, Phil, sorry :)

[whereagles]

Phil: since 2♠ was artificial, pard will be forced to pass 3♠ now :)

 

Incidently, think I prefer 3♦.

[kgr]

Does 3♠ show ♠ stopper and asks ♥ stopper or does it show ♥ stopper and asks ♠ stopper? What is standard?

With a pickup partner I don't think I would bid it.
