Are we good enough for a raise?
What range is standard for the overcaller to have here?

Thanks :)

The range is about 13-17 if we have to express it in HCPs but given that he seems to have some club length he probably isn't minimal. This is boarderline IMO.

Passing may be right, but is landing on the head of a pin. I bid 4 with my stiff club, otherwise I'd pass. Harder at Match Points though.

Partners overcall is wide-ranging, so it's a close decision but I rank
  • 4 = Brave but you do have a ruffing value. Clearer decision at IMPs and vul.
  • Pass = Timid but reasonable at MPs or non-vul.

no vote because there is sometimes quite a difference between IMPS and MP and the question does not specify form of scoring.

MP our hand has 6 hcp but half of them are useful only after a loser (or more) and even the heart K may be vulnerable if club ruffs are needed. While we are not dead minimum I remain unconvinced the ruffing values are sufficient to make up for the overall weakness of the hand so taking the low road and

PASS

seems the way to go. Not enough games to make up for the hands making 3 or going down in 3.

IMPS While I really want to pass the thrill of the game bonus (even nvul) will probably override my sensibilities and convince me to bid

4H and just hope the opps cannot x when things do not look so good for us.

thanks for the answers.
i passed like a chicken, making 5 :)
it was mp, so it seems that it was not completely unreasonable.
