I said I'm assuming that Michaels is either weak or very strong. If so, pd is VERY likely weak

I wonder wich cards do you need for making it likelly that he is strong :)

"I wonder wich cards do you need for making it likelly that he is strong"

 

The facts that

1) one opponent opened in the first seat,

2) the other made a limit plus raise, and

3) you have a king

 

make it very unlikely (though possible) that your partner has 17+ hcp.

I voted for 4H. It should be clear to partner that I have 5H in mind, I'm leaving the final decision up to him.

Partner doesn't need 17 HCP for the strong variation, plenty of 4-loser hands that have far fewer HCP's. Same for the limit raise, this could easily be distributional.

3S. Tell pard you have hearts en route to four, with some minors. An all purpose bid.

W: 1S - N: 2S (Michaels) - E: 2NT (limit or better with spade support) - S:??[/hv]

 

Which action do you take now?

 

1. PASS. I am too weak to act.

 

2. 3♦. Lead directing against a high spade contract.

 

3. 4♥. Maybe they will miss the slam if they have one.

 

4. 5♥. Let them make the last guess.

 

If you think any other bid is better than one of the above, I have given you an "Other" option too.

I don't want to end up in the tank for -800 or something stupid, just 3♥ should do the trick.
