Even I think I would pass it... However we will only be in 6♦ at my table .

Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!

Just wondered who would open 3D all green first in hand?
I would in one partnership, but not in the other.

White/red I would open that with 3D, and other vulnerabilities I would pass (though could see some conditions where I'd do it w/w, wouldn't be my normal action).

silly question removed
It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.
Bridge should be fun!

I would at favourable. With nobody vulnerable, I'd need it to be x xx Jxxxxxx Kxx.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

I would. And I like to believe we would have a fair chance of stopping in 6♦.

On a S lead best line is probably the C hook, and hope to bring down KC in 3 rounds. Well the hook works but on the actual layout only 12 tricks are available.
I seem to have 12 tricks by ruffing a heart in dummy, and then a choice of which way to take the club finesse for the 13th. On a non-club lead, by the time we come to make this decision, we'll have seen the lead, the trump break, three rounds of hearts, and a couple of discards from each side. Do we mind being in 7♦ on this?
