Help
P P P ?
Part 1 is bid or pass?
Part 2 is what do you do if you bid and 3♠ comes back to you?
With your help maybe I can be proven wrong by two independent groups of smart people.

Saw this one on another forum, and wasn't sure if I agreed with the majority opinion.

Part 2 is what do you do if you bid and 3♠ comes back to you?

Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.

Presumably the 3♠ bid coming back is from LHO or RHO and not CHO?

And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

1 bid
2.1 1♣
2.2 This is surprising considering neither opponent opened, and would have to depend on the auction.

Yes, I am aware, that they will have bid 3S,
but that does not change my comment, 3S
is not game, so no need to worry.
I reopened at a high level, they found a 9 card
fit, so be it, I will do it again.

Thanks, folks.
I thought this was a terrible hand to blindly follow the rule of 15 on, and I liked 3♣ as well.
If opponents compete to 3♠, I think I'd be sorely tempted to double.

For me a 4th seat 3♣ shows this hand, although this is certainly at the top of the range and I wouldn't gripe if PD choose 1♣ instead.
I pass 3♠ from the opps.
