I learned that PAS is the best bid,always when you think to chose betwen PAS and something smart or something...

I learned that something smart is always better than following a rule.

I bid 1♠ on the first one and doubled on the other two, but I must say I'm ashamed of the latter two.

The first auction continued
1♦-1♠-3♥("weak")-3♠
4♣-p-4♥-end

Declarer had a hard time believing I came in with a 4 count or thereabouts, but in the end took all the finesses through pd. ~50% (would anyone bid 4♠??? I think it would have gone for -500)

The second auction went
p-p-1♠-X
p-3♥-end

+140 was a very clear top score here, but it was a little lucky indeed.

The third auction went
p-p-1♥-X
2NT*-p-3♦**-p
3♥-end

*,**=fancy conventions that allowed them to miss the game that the whole had field bid and made. (so apparently pass and 2♣ are tied here)

I thought of 2♣ but I didn't have the guts for it... I can see how it's a nice bid. Plus, it's always nice to bid 2♣ over 1♦!

Pass all 3 hands...

I might bid 2♠ on 1st only if NV vs V
