2♣ - (2♦) - ?

3♦, passing 3NT and bidding 4♠ over most anything else.

Agree with 3♦. Nothing else is forcing and any game bid at this point is too committal.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

3♦ for me too... I'll correct anything but 3NT to ♠.
Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!

I will never understand these delayed (prebalance!..?) overcalls, but it can certainly create some unfamiliarity when either responder or even opener, doubles.
Anyway having said that, I agree with 3D.

I agree with josh. wtp. LOL. Seriously, I do agree with josh. Let's find out whether partner can bid notrump.. in which case we can hope that one of the black suits will produce the requisite tricks, or give a preference to spades or bid 3♥ or 4♣ (we will bid 4♠ over 3♠ or 4♣, and 3 (forcing) spades over 3♥.

Following behind the esteemed posters Im sure this is no longer considered politically correct here – 3♦ what else

Although the comment “The totally of your agreements is: '2/1 std carding” has me thinking I may well be playing 3♦ ;)

Since everyone else is advocating 3♦, I'll give my vote to...... 3♦. Seriously, what else can you bid?
Kind regards,
Harald
