Question 1: Was 2 GF?

 

Yes: Bid 3 now, planning to play 3NT opposite 3 small.

 

No: Go to question 2.

 

Question 2: Was 2 GF?

 

I would say no in this case, so I now... PASS.

Partner is making a slam invite.

 

On the negative side:

I'm close to minimum in high card strenght.

My trumps are poor.

 

On the positive side:

I've got 5 controls.

I've got a decent side suit.

I've got i kicker in partners suit.

 

All in all I've got a better than minimum hand and will cooperate in slam exploration. Now it's down to agreements how to do that. Some would go on describing shape (3), some would cuebid (3) and some would show concentration of strength (3).

Agree 100%. For me, though, I'd bid 2NT, denying two of the top three spades. After 3 by partner (the only call where it matters), I can bid 3 to show two of the top three honors in diamonds.
