I presume you put 1 too many passes in at the end? I would bid 3S assuming I am reading the problem correctly, though a conservative pass could work well with this spade holding.

Not sure you've got this one right.

My bidding looks much more like being South than being West. Bidding 2S here on three small does not really appeal.

But assuming I'm South and 2C was not GF, then I'm happy with pass. Mind you I wouldn't have bid 2H on the previous round over the double.

Pass.

Partner does not have a spade stopper,
else he would have bid 2NT or doubled.

And 5D is a long way to go.

Personnaly I would have passed the round
before as well, bt 2H turned out to be better.

With kind regards

This is a good red imp game, a priori, although if the Xer is not crazy, he probably has some shape so it's not bad to miss this one. BTW isn't 1D-3D a limit raise in standard?

I have never played a limit raise over a minor, I will add it to my list :P

Top here played 3NT+3 after a ♥ lead. (I think the bidding was risky)
