In the name of love...

I am passing despite the colors. You really need a lot more to bid 2M when your RHO bids 1N then you do normally (especially with 3 small trumps). And in this auction, partner is marked with 4+H (I have 2 and no neg x), and our diamond holding couldn't be much worse, so our hands fit like crap. I honestly expect down 3 in 2S. OK, that will probably tie the +150 I expect for them in 1N, but just as white vs white makes me want to bid over 1N, white vs white makes them want to bid over 2S, so they will x or bid on more agressively then normal... The main upside of 2S is that they may end up in a lower scoring part score like 3D, so thats the one upside of bidding. Then again, partner with 5413 or 5512 might compete to 3S over 3D (taking me seriously) and thats going to get wacked....

I am raising all day. It works so much better than it should since they make lots of wrong decisions. Also I'm not worried about the lead since partner isn't on lead unless they go back to diamonds, which would make me happy anyway. I actually like my fit as far as shape, partner has implied heart length due to no 1 opening or negative double, so my ruffing value is very strong.

 

Josh #2 I didn't notice you had also mentioned the heart length. I view this as a positive not a negative. Though I guess it may end up depending what my exact spade spots are.
