high ODR but we are vul at MPs with few values I'd just pass

[whereagles]

This is an offensive hand. I'll bid.

[mikegill]

It would not have occurred to me to bid

[pooltuna]

pass over 3♦ seems auto as I do have a partner who with 4 card support could raise.

this is not totally correct. You're a 3rd seat opener, meaning you could have had only 4 spades, and besides not all 4 card raises should blast to the 3 level.

[P_Marlowe]

You are short in their suit, which is a pos. value, if you are following the LoTT,

so bidding 3S is certainly Law conform.

 

I guess I would bid 3S, but due to the vulnerability, this is not clear cut.

 

With kind regards

Pass.

 

There are layouts where both contracts make, but I think there are a greater

number where both are one down if partner passes. Whenever partner has slow heart values they will be useful only on defence as we will get forced before we can set up any tricks and will run into club ruffs if we don't draw trumps.

I am most worried about going 2 down when they make overtrick(s) ;)
