Scoring: IMP

P - P - 1♦* - P
1♠ - P - 2♥ - P
??

* - 1♦ promises 4+


Also, do you agree with the 1♠ call?

I have pretty much the worst hand I could have for my bidding, and no fit with partner. Also, I can't pass. 2NT seems clear to me. I'm not an authority, though.

And yes, I agree with 1♠ 
Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.

2NT, what ever it may mean, I have it.

And yes, I agree with 1S.

Pass - partner may kill, you if he has a monster

2S - shows 5+, depending on your reverse style
you may play oppossite a singel or doubleton

3C - shows more strength

3D - an option, but should show 3 cards, and some
may play it as stronger, depends on agreement

3H - should show a real fit, and sounds stronger

I wont consider the rest, because those are just
fillers.

With kind regards

Another vote for 1♠ and 2NT.
The difference between theory and practice is that in theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice, there is.

You should look at the "a primer on reverse bidding" that has been stickied in the B/I forum.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

I thought 1nt response is better when the major in 4 is so poor.
It's not what you are, it's how you say it!

No, 1S is normal.

Playing standard 2NT showing a club stopper seems very normal.

With six hcp you are definitely worth an initial response and bidding your four-card major is standard and best.
