FWIW I would pass 3D all day with the north hand and not think twice about it.

I cannot imagine passing with that diamond Q (and the rest of the hand, of course). That card has to fill in his suit.. if not to create 6 winners immediately, then surely to establish 5 with his having compensating strength elsewhere if the Q doesn't solidify his suit.

Agree, that card has to be worth double (or more) what it would be worth in a side suit.

The general statement is fine, but what makes you think jump shifting into a three card major gives you any sort of a better shot at finding the right strain?


Because you will show a 3 card raise with strenght in S and shortness in clubs. What more do you want ?
