3♥ or 4♥?

 

Thanks

[paulg]

3♥ and hope it makes. Perhaps influenced by the junk that partner may have for an opening bid and subsequent pass. I now wish that I'd shown a good raise to 3♥ initially, especially as the spade suit looks so anaemic, but you never know and partner may 'correct' to 3♠ and all will be well :)

[inquiry]

3♥ and hope for the best.

[mtvesuvius]

3♥ for sure. 4♥ is quite the overbid. I almost wish I had just started with 2♥ at my first turn... then I could X now to show a bit extra.

[Cascade]

2♠ already overstated our values for most.

 

3♥ is enough for now.

[bucky]

3♥ for sure. 4♥ is quite the overbid. I almost wish I had just started with 2♥ at my first turn... then I could X now to show a bit extra.

An initial conservative 2♥ isn't wrong. But had you done that, is it best to play X here as takeout? Or should X show more balanced defensive oriented hand, something like balanced 10 count?

3♥ is fine on the actual action. I would have bid 3♦=limit raise initially. We have found one trump suit, why look for another. I'd prefer 4 trumps, but 3 and a stiff will do in competition.

3♥ now. The decision last round looks more interesting. I like showing a 3 card invitation instead, although 2♠ is OK too. I think a raise to just 2♥ would have been wrong.

I'm bidding 4H.

 

I smell something like

 

Kx QJxxx Qx AJxx

 

with the A of spades likely onside, we should be ok in 4

3♥, the hand is not that good. We might have to ruff Diamonds with a high trump. It might be difficult to set the Spade suit. BTW was 2♠ the correct bid ?

[Blue Uriah]

2♠ undoubtedly the correct bid on the earlier round. Check this link if you have any doubts. :D

3♥. Would have preferred 3♦ the previous round.

[dboxley]

I think 2S originally was correct as there are many minimums for S where 4S is cold. Now I would bid only 3H. This was a lucky turn of events since I got to have my cake and eat it too.

[cherdano]

I like the 2♠ bid the first round. If partner had raise us, we would have been quite happy.

[pooltuna]

you missed your chance to call 3♥ now your choices are pass and 4♥ - go with aggression :)

2♠ undoubtedly the correct bid on the earlier round. Check this link if you have any doubts. :D
