pard opens 2♥ first seat MP's none vulnerable. You can assume he has 6 cards. Also, this is an individual tournament and it's quite probable that all three players make unreliable decisions. Do you raise to 3♥?

If I don't raise it to 3♥, it's only to bid 4♥, because opps have game. and 3♥ might not keep them from bidding 3NT of finding their best minor fit.

3♥ looks pretty normal, I guess 3NT has some chance of working.

I'm not passing this. 3♥ taking away bidding space seems more than normal

3♥. Won't stop them from bidding 3NT but might make it harder to find their would-be 6m slam.

Hi,

4H.

It is either 3H or 4H, playing an individual bidding
4H is probably safer, maybr my unknown partner
thinks 3H is inv., what do I know, but ask me
tommorow and it maybe 3H.

With kind regards
Marlowe

I bid 3♥ LHO doubled on his strong NT RHO bid 4♦ ending the auction, which easily made. 3NT goes down cause we have 2 aces to take before they take 9 tricks. so partner said "argh dude what was 3♥ good for, they'd <<find>> 3NT. were you afraid of spades??"
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

3♥ and it baffles me the way people give out to their partner like this, though it happens all the time in bridge. Any intermediate+ player should know that 3♥ is a reasonable (almost text-book) action with your hand. Even if said intermediate+ player wouldn't have taken the action him/herself, it should be obvious that it is reasonable and on another day might have worked out.
The difference between theory and practice is that in theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice, there is.

gwnn, pard is a results merchant. If you had, say, ♥AKx and out he might have had a point, but as it is, he's just being silly.

After all, opps might have bid 3NT and gone down and you'd be the hero.
