You hold:
Scoring: MP


And the bidding starts:
2♠! - 3♥ - pass - 3NT
pass - ???
2♠ shows 6-10hcp with exactly 5♠ and 4+m

Remark: you play leaping michaels with 4 or less losers, so this hand didn't really qualify for an immediate 4♣ bid (showing 55+♥-♣). 3♠ would be asking for a stopper.

- Do you agree with 3♥?
- What do you bid now?
- What do you expect from partner's 3NT?

Note: it's MP. :)

- Yes, I agree with 3H
- I pass 3NT

I might be persuaded 4C is right at IMPs, but I'd probably still pass. I may be biased by knowing the other hand!

I agree with 3H, and I'll pass 3NT.
Since I don't see a ♥ fit, i expect you to hold 2♠ stopper, since my aces prove that you need to exit at least once. Without ♠A you need at least 3♠ card for that. So there are 7+ minor cards left in your hand. We might well have a ♣ fit, but this is a source of tricks in NT too. With 2-3♠, 4-5♣, 1♥ (odds are ♥KJ is offside) and your ♦ stopper, I see 8-10 tricks comming up.

3 Heart was not perfect, but there is no alternative.
Now I surely bid 4 Heart, because I know Pds hand.
Else, 100 % pass.
Kind Regards

Here's what happened:

Scoring: MP

2♠ - 3♥ - pass - 3NT
pass - pass - pass

LHO leads small ♦ to the K, small ♦ back to J, Q and ♣ away. Now LHO starts to think that I have a stopper, so he switches to ♥T! I take in dummy, let ♥7 run, some more ♥, ♣ and 2♠ for 3NT+2. We can't compare with other scores since it was at the beginning, but 6♥ is laydown! So everyone in 4♥+2 probably scored better. But apparently not many of the forum would reach 4♥ anyway.

My reasoning for 3NT was that partner probably has a good 6 card ♥ with doubleton ♠. In a ♥ contract, it will start ♠ through my K, ♠ and a ruff, and partner will have to make the rest! 3NT would probably work out better if partner has a ♦ stop, but no way to ask that... With the North hand however, I thought 4♣ after the 3NT bid would be the majority's choice, but I was wrong there apparently :)
