Scoring: IMP

Do you take another call after P-P-1-P-2-P?


We were playing a pretty normal 2/1 system.
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy - but it might improve my bridge.

I'd pass, kinda worried about a balance though.

Yes I would like to bid a 3C shutout bid but I don't have that available.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

I know that you do many things differently over there, but this one really surprises me. In this country, 3C is non-forcing, showing a normal opening bid with a club fit.

I'd hate to have to pass 2C with this, not just because of the risk of them finding a major-suit fit, but also because we might have a game on. xxx xx AQx KQxxx makes 5C cold; KJx Kxx x Kxxxxx makes 3NT good.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn
