Playing Aol, what do you rebid?[/hv]

"Me too.", of course.(*)

 

Oh, on the hand? Playing Acol? No idea, because I don't. Playing my style of K/S, 2♦ shows about this hand (okay, so partner isn't going to expect 5 controls or the 7th diamond, but) and if it's passed, I don't think we're missing game (would partner bid on with both black bullets and out?) I'm concerned that anything else overstates my strength for anything but "diamonds or lotsa-tricks in NT"; and that I could be cold for 3NT and be in 5♦, or cold for 5♦ and losing the first 5 spades in NT, or "no game makes".

 

But I'm a wuss, I know that.

I'm a 3D bidder, but fully aware that this is very much a minimum, much like my AOL connection back in the 90s :)

MP 2d no need to stretch for vul game and prospect of -200+ at MP could be a disaster

IMP 3d now stretching for thin vul game and what better way to right side 3n and have p concentrate on spade/club stops

i think the immortal terence would rip off 3d, "what else?" but he plays 'em better. this why i moved on to precision, when i could say "what else did you expect?"
