Scoring: Total Points

        1♠
2♣    2♥
3♦    3NT
?

You are South and playing 2/1. The good news is that the 3♦ bid was unequivocally natural.

What is your plan now?

4D.

I guess 3D natural just means, that 3D promises 4+.
4D should show 6-5, the bid gives us the chance to
reach the best game ( I doubt 3NT will be our best game),
and it will also leave to door open toward 6C / 6D.

3NT is actually good news, since opener wont have 5-5
or 6-4 in the majors, hence we have a fit in a minor.

With kind regards

I suggest you pass....... misfit = teh evil

With some fillers in the majors, I might try 4♦ (nat 65, I hope). As it is, pass seems best. Maybe not optimal, but liveable.

I would pass, 3D should never be bid with 4-5 in the minors, so partner should be aware you are often 5-6 or a concentrated 4-6. I don't think you have enough extra to justify bidding.

This seems like an easy pass.
