Scoring: IMP

(1♣) - 1♦ - (4♣) - 4♠
pass - pass - (5♣) - pass
pass - ???


We're west playing with expert pard and opps. Is 1 ♦ ok? What's our bid now? Is partner's pass forcing?
Thanks!

1D is fine.
Partner's pass is non-forcing.
Vulnerable against not, I think it is very close between pass and 5S now.

I would have bid 2♦, but 1♦ is ok. Had I bid 2♦, 5♠ would now be easy. As it went, I'd only bid it if needing a swing.

P's pass is by no means forcing, it would be quite normal to pass in this situation.

It is unclear who's hand it is but I pass at these colors. If it was our hand p might have doubled.

#1 1D is ok, given the vulnerability,
I dont like 2D too much
#2 Pass, ... and this answers your question,
if I believe partners pass is forcing .-)

With kind regards

To me this is a lead problem: Low spade or ace of Diamonds?

Biding was fine, your final pass now too.
Kind Regards

1♦ looks normal. 2♦ is possible but I don't like weak jumps at this vulnerability - in fact I prefer not weak jumps at any vulnerability.

Partner bid 4♠ knowing that we could be this weak without spade support. With three spades and a singleton I think there is a good case for 5♠ now.
