Scoring: IMP

(1♦)-2♣-p-p-p


1♦ was precision.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

No blame. Let's hope for a bad layout where 3N doesn't make.

The blame? Not playing intermediate jump overcalls here. I don't use them here, either. But, if there is a fault, it is that, IMO. The auction is easy after 1♦-3♣ intermediate. Advancer just bids 3NT.

Next board.

I dont think the North hand is strong enough to go
via a t/o double, but it is close.

With kind regards

n has a t/o double - good defence and a suit which can be bid on any level without fear

No blame.

No blame, really.

As North I would consider no other action than 2♣.
As South though, 2NT would at least cross my mind. I don't think 2NT is terrible.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

No blame. North has a 2C bid and Sth doesn't have a bid.

Also no blame. I used to worry about finding a bid with hands like the south hand but that is just a loser long term in my experience. This happens sometimes.

I blame opener, for not reopening.
... 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

These responsive double type South hands are really annoying. I just unhappily pass with them.

Both hands are maxes for their actions. No worries.
