Here's another board where we had a poor result, how would you bid this?

..... 1S
1NT-2D
3D-5D

Up to 3D it is entirely clear. West is not good enough for a direct 2H and has to bid 1NT. East is not good enough to jump-shift and should bid 2D. Over 2D west should support diamonds rather than show hearts.

Over 3D it is more difficult. It seem practical just to jump to 5D.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

Hi,

1S - 1NT (1)
2D - 3D (2)
3NT (3)

(1) non forcing, to weak for 2H
(2) courtesy raise
(3) playing MP, and lack of better
alternatives
a direct 5D is an option, and so is 4D

With kind regards
Marlowe

Ok maybe this wasnt such a bad board, we were in 5♦ -1

Scoring: MP

1S-1N-2D-3D and then it is a guess for 5D or 3NT at MPs, but at Imps I think 5D makes a bit more often (this hand off course being an exception due to the bad H break)

As opener I need a tad more to force to game with a 3D jump .. neilkaz ..

Dwayne, they are not playing precision.. 3D is way off imo.

I'd jump rebid 3♦ in any natural method. The stiff Ace of hearts and decent suits are upgrades.

However, I do like Chuck's sporting 3NT rebid, even tho he scarred me for the next month by invoking MC Hammer....I think he needed to "bust a move"...
