Scoring: MP


The auction goes:

1D (2S) 2NT (4S)

2NT shows clubs.

What would you bid. And what if the 4S bid was only 3S, or you held 3 clubs and one less diamond.

Is 3♣ wide-ranging or essentially unlimited in terms of strength?

5♦.

If they bid only 3♠ , I think 4♦ is enough.

If (over RHO 4♠) my minors were 6-3 , I would try 4NT offering choice between 5♣ and 5♦.

I think it is common to play 5♦ as weaker than 4NT followed a correction to 5♦. I am assuming that it isn't of interest to find look for a hearts fit here. Otherwise the sequence would have shown diamonds+hearts.

Maybe I have it backwards, after all a scrambling/gb/lebensohl 2NT is used to show a weak hand so a scrambling 4NT could be used in the same way.

Well said. 7 card suits missing only the ace don't look too good when in dummy.
Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!
