Does North steal South's girlfriend or something?

Hmm? Take it you don't think 3 is 4th suit there then :lol: Sorry, guess I should have stated that in my original post.

Well you did state 2 was GF, so obviously I had reason to believe 3 was natural.

 

By the way, if 3 is some sort of 4SF punt / stall, then I would say South not only stole North's girlfriend, he also knocked her up :D

3D is not natural lol.

 

Don't like the 2S bid at all, just bid 3D ez game (I would not be playing 3N ever after 1S-2H with the north hand).

 

Passing the double does not say let's play there, even if it suggested it you cannot play there unredoubled.

I don't get the lols for south pass. He was not in the pass out seat, so why shouldn't he pass to show a message.

 

I wonder however, which message he tried to send. I had bid 3 Heart to show my 6. heart, but I do not know the style of this particular N/S.

 

To play 3 diamond X in an absolute misfit hand with enough HCPS for game was not the worst idea from North either. Okay after the double the major suit slam was quite good. But this was hard to judge after the start of the bidding.

How can North be to blame? Unless Pass shows a void or something.

hmm, I will try to understand north:

 

If I am sitting north, I assume south's pass says "I have nothing else to say". Which to me means: less than two spades (no spade raise) and less than 6 hearts or clubs (no rebids in those suits). So South looks like maybe 1525 or so, possibly 1534. In which case, I guess 3x will have some play. And since there are only 7-card major fits anyway (so it seems), why not play for only 9 tricks instead of 10, and score more on top of it? Maybe because the bad trump break is already known? And I would certainly expect a redouble to be removed by south. hmmm ...

 

Anyway I guess north may have some reason to pass after all. So maybe I change my blame to mostly south.
