Help
pick up partner - the bidding goes as follows:
P - 1♥ - P - 2♦
2♥??
Partner bid 2 hearts - what does it mean in 2/1?
So it is clear - partner passed to begin with, then came in with 2 hearts after his LHO opened with a heart and RHO bid 2 diamonds.
thanks.

Time for a talk with partner - no idea but I would guess ♠ and ♣'s
It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.

♠ and ♣ indeed.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

♠+♣, but I would expect the clubs to be better than the spades on average.

thanks all. Just wanted a sanity check:
FYI - partner had
♠XX
♥KQJ10X
♦X
♣KJXXX
I had -
♠KXXXXXXX
♥XX
♦XXXX
♣X
What would you bid? (assuming partner actually has his bid - which I did, despite smelling trouble)

If I held that hand I wouldn't assume partner had ♠&♣. I'd bid 2♠.I'd bid 4 if I expected partner to have ♠&♣.

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

Hi,
You can rule out natural, since he is a passed hand,
well maybe not, but if he bids Jxxxxx in this situation,
he is not sane anyway.
So most likely it is spades and clubs, dont ask me, why
he did not make a t/o, in a pick up prtnership peoble
should choose the simplest bid.
With kind regards
Marlowe

Thanks all.
I had 6 spades to the K - not eight
I bid 4 spades - thinking that if I bid less and partner really had his bid that would be where we wanted to be. 2 spades probably made sense given the smelly situation - but I couldn't help myself.

This would be a much easier auction if I'd just done the natural thing and bid 2♠ over 1♥.

I was wondering. It is not too often that you face the problem of wgat to do with an eight-card spade fit, having passed the first round.

Bidding 2 ♥ with partners hand should be a topic in the water cooler.
It has nothing to do with bridge.
