Assume you pass. West pass too and pard volunteered 3D, pass to you.

What's your bid?

1C----pass----2H----pass
pass--3D-----pass---??

The only plausible explanations I see are

1. pard is conservative and has like Txxxxx of diams. He didn't want to bid 1♦ 1st round because the suit was broken.

2. pard has like.. a 2146 with bad clubs. He didn't want to overcall 1st round on 4 cards but is willing to try for a diamond contract.

Needless to say, things would have been much easier if he had overcalled the 1st round....

The drawback to 3NT is that LHO might not have a ♥ to lead so is forced to lead his own suit, ♣. I wonder what hand can partner have that did not want to overcall 1♦ and yet bids 3 of them now... What's our overcall style?

I pass:

1. I do not see a source of tricks in NT (pard won't be superstrong for his bidding, so even with diamonds running, he won't have much more) , and

2. communications in hearts might be a problem, as pard is likely to hold a void.

Pass. 3NT seems against the odds.

Isn't anyone wondering where all the ♠s are? Partner didn't overcall, but suddenly comes out with 3♦. I suspect he doesn't have ♠, otherwise a Dbl would be better. But what kind of hand does he have???

Can't RHO psych with lots of ♠? I'd just bid 3♥, hoping p understands this, because I don't understand him anyway...

Pass was my choice too. Pard had:

Ax -- KTxxxxx Txxx

Diamond break 22, so there was a quick 3NT. Some made 5D. Without 2H WJS interference, game would be possible.

I agree with pard's bidding.

Full hand:

Scoring: IMP

1C----pass---2H---pass
pass--3D----pass---pass*
pass//


Did not consider psychic issue, anyway, 3H still could be helpful.

Thanks Free.

BTW, it was Pclayton who sit east. That 2H .... I couldn't breath!

Next time you play, bring some candy. A little sugar might make partner bid some more.

Adhoc; I was the one that couldn't breathe when you tabled your hand in 3♦. :P I just about passed out when I thought how many tricks I was making in my 2♥ contract with that trump split.

3N is a fairly lucky make, but I think your pard was pretty shy not to try 2 or 3♦'s. Even then, theres no guarantee you'll find 3N.
