Scoring: IMP


I actually held that hand last night...

The bidding goes:

1♣ 1♦ 1♠ Pass
3♠ 4♥ 4NT Pass
5♠ 6♦ 6♠ Pass
Pass ???

What's your bid with this hand?

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

I would have bid 5NT over 5♠, but that is neither here nor there.

I pass. If partner hasn't got a picture of my hand yet, he will never get one. You are red against white, and I would expect to go down 2 minimum (and possibly 3 or 4) at 7 of a red suit. And even though you have little defense, it is not clear that partner has no defense.

I would have started with a 2NT bid over 1♣. Gonna have a hard time convincing p I have 6 ♥ after overcalling 1♦. If I start with UNT and then bid lots more, p has a real shot a getting it right. On the given auction, I pass 6♠. The suits are all split badly, and I'll let the opponents worry about that.

P could not double 6♠ so without defense I'll sacrifice.
