This is Advanced and Expert Class Bridge, if the problem was the number of cards, I would bet that around half can count that high.

yes, but did they see me put my five of hearts in my shoe?
And yes, 2d is automatic.

Easy 2D. Everything else is either a misdesription or an overbid.

What am I missing? 2C asks for simple preference.

I think 2D is the best description of my pile.

This looks like a B/I problem: 2♦, but of course, this is a problem for those benighted souls who open 1♦ with 4=5 in the minors B)

Damn, I thought all BBOers were chronic overbidders - nobody calling for a 2NT bid? 2D does seem a slight underbid IMO - how does partner to go on and bid with a 15-16 count. I'm divided between 2D and 2NT, but as a junior I suppose I'd have to bid 2NT - have to maintain the reputations of juniors you know :D

2♦. No 11 count, no aces, no spots, no trick source. If partner does something over 2♦ - ok, then I might admit to having a 10 count. A more interesting problem is what you bid if partner continues with 3♣ over 2♦, perhaps.

Would partner raise with H-Axx? So the best H-fit is xxx/Hx. 2D gets more appealing. Does partner insist rote "4-pieces to raise"? Will he now 2H over 2D? 2D to partner.

With a minimum, partner would raise hearts directly with 1354, in my methods.

If partner rebids 2♥ over the 2♦ preference, you thus have an easy raise to game.
