lol at passing the previous round, now i would bid 3c

originally wrote 3h, but on second thought, that is just taking way too much of a position with a reasonably likely 5-1 heart break

FWIW, I also disagree with the pass over 2♦. Yeah, it's an aceless 4333, but 10 points and 3-card support for a suit partner has bid twice is nothing to be embarrassed about.

Notice how much better 3♣ is on the previous round.

The opponents don't get to bid their spades.

I was maximum for 3♣ on the previous round so I have to bid at least this much this time.

previous round options where double (if you think it is too strong for 3♣) and 3♣ IMO.

it is about time we show our club support.

Partner choose to rebid his clus intead of making a 3 card raise, so hes showing long good clubs, so how in the world its possible to pass 2D ? To think about passing 2S is simply gross.
From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."
