Scoring: IMP


Partner opens and the auction goes unopposed:

What is your next call?

Big fit, I raise. Small hand, I don't raise much. 3♦.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

3♦ also... What else is there other than pass?
Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!

I just raise as this hand isn't good enough for more, IMO.

I like a style where 2♦ promises 4+♦ after a forcing NT (but can be 3 if it was 1♥-1NT-2♦ for 4531's) and the other shapes bids 2♣. If that's the case then we have a 10+ diamond fit and I'm not ashamed of raising this to 3♦. 4♠ is still in the picture if partner is 6-4 or 5♦ with 5341 or 3NT with 5242 etc.
If 2♦ was our limit then I'm sure the opponents can make 2♥ or 3♣.
