Last board of a TM, which strain are you playing in if:

a ) you feel it's fairly close

b ) you feel -1100 on a previous board didn't help your side

[Free]

You didn't give enough information about how you achieved the -1100. If it's a good sac vs slam, or if it's a rather normal sac which went completely wrong because of extreme and unexpected distributions, then it doesn't affect my decision. I kind of like 4♠, but I hate the fact that I don't have an entry outside ♠s.

-1100 was a clear 13-15 IMP loss after a bidding miscommunication :) and the auction was too horrible for words

Does this auction mean something special in your system? 3H looks like an impossible bid otherwise, I use it for RKB for spades. I always just xfer and bid 3NT with that hand. Sometimes they run the diamonds, sometimes they don't.

[rduran1216]

why would I ever bid 2C with this hand?

Also for the poster before him:

Because systemically over our 10-13 NT this is how my partner and I bid this hand? It's not like this is the SAYC or 2/1 section. You can assume the bidding up through 3NT is correct since I didn't give you any other options as to how it might be bid. We don't have transfers available and 2♥ is NF, if you must know.
