IMPs scoring, strong opps. What's your call here?

I hate situations like this. I would pass for penalties and hope to get them down.
Bidding 2♥ with a singleton is just sheer lunacy and the other suits are too
ropey to bid.

No, he has a 6th one (or a hand too good to pass unsuitable for X or 1N), his dummy doesn't have to have a single point.

i detest bidding 3 card suits, particularly majors. when partner raises and you get doubled, you might start to hate it too.


Hard to picture a hand where partner would make a sane raise of a 2♠ call. He might X a three level bid that you can reasonably leave in.

I don't like my options, but agree that 2♠ is least bad.

Reminds me of a board I once played in the junior europeans. I had AQJ9x in diamonds and a 10 count and my RHO overcalled 2D unfavourable over my partner's 4th seat 1H. Partner found a reopening double with his poor 12 count including a stiff ♦K.....

That match was actually more memorable because of a later board I have also posted on the forums before (31 count!)

Full hand:



Pass leads to +800, you can also make 4H and 4S.
