Scoring: IMP

1♣!-(1♠)-2♦-(P)
3♦-P-?


Partner's 1♣ shows 15+ JCP and your 2♦ shows 5+♥s and 6-9 HCP. What now?

Everything's natural at this point.

4♣, I can't imagine never bidding them. And if partner bids 4♦, then 4♥.

If you bid 4♣ then partner bids 5♣.

Easy pass, wouldn't bidding slam there be a total shot in the dark? If you make 6 then that's how it goes.

As above: 4♣. However, I'd raise 5♣ to 6 because I could have a mere 55. Sure, it's a guess, but I'm willing to take that chance.

My first thought was that 6♣ would be a "Futile Willy" bid, but 4♣ must be forcing. I think 6♣ makes a lot of sense.

Playing with Ken Rexford I would bid 5♥, if only to get an interesting discusion about what that bid should mean :) Kinda like the Mikeh/Josh-discussion in another thread.
