Vulnerable sacrifice

Just bid 5 immediately.

 

Invariably, the ox on the left just trots out their suit at the five level, which is exactly what you want.

So, he would be an oxy moron?

 

BTW, I would bid 5D over 2H also...but not positive it is a sacrifice. Certainly am not fond of 3D, then 5D, with any holding.

Only true in a weak game.

But I agree, if you are tempted to bid 5 now, you should have done it on the previous round.

Yes, at RED, that is exactly what I am saying. 2D takes up no room; Partner knows Opener will be bidding 4M; and, there would be no earthly reason to bid 2D except to encourage partner to bid at the 5-level.

Well, LHO has a strong 2 and RHO bid over 2... since I got 10, I don't think pard can have much.

 

Just pretend you are playing 1$/2$ poker and raise the size of the pot. Nobody playing "Benji" will come up with the correct counter (if there is one) more than one time in two.
