2 here too -- we overcall pretty aggressively.

2 for me. As declarer, I am always disappointed to see three small trumps in a dummy that gave me a limit raise.

Surely if you're willing to raise to the 3 level 3H is a better bid? IMHO it's close and I'd just make a competitive three card raise

Valid point - a bit light for a fitjump for me, but some pairs might play fitjumps like that.

3 is misdescriptive, 2 is possible but kind of silly IMO, partner will pass even with 5-1 in the majors and very often with 5-2. Looks too good for 2 so 3 it is. The answers here are a bit shocking to me.

If you're going to bid 3D you might as well start with double

I FORGOT DOUBLE yes that's a good idea. The prior answers are still weird to me.

Was running out of breath waiting for MY answer. OK, you double. LHO reraises to 3.

You done or are you going to compete to 3?

To me if you are going to double, you are committing yourself to bidding 3 spades. You're treating your hand as an invitational 3 card raise (ie driving to 3S) and trying to keep hearts into play. Doubling and passing just means you never showed 3 spades or invitational values. Partner might have 6 spades and pass 3 diamonds for instance since he doesn't know about your third spade.

That said, I am always leery of arguments like that, with new information it is always rational to be able to change your plan I don't really see why this would cause us to do so though, so I still think the options are bidding 2S immediately or doubling and bidding 3S.

The entire hand was something like:




3 is such a moronic call. Would have loved to rip it.
