Your partner deals and opens 1♦. You play a natural system so with your HCP you should either bid 2NT or 3♦. Which one would you choose?
With the same hand and agreements (SAYC), what would you bid over 1♣? 1♦ or 2NT?
Which of these aspects should affect your decision:
- It's the first hand of a team match.
- Neither side is vulnerable.

A hand. How do you evaluate it and react.

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

I normally bid 1♦ to keep the bidding low because I love to investigate slams (I find very very few on this type of hands though)

You have 5 card support and no heart stopper. I welcome you to figure it out!

If partner opened 1♦, I would support diamonds; if partner opened 1♣, I would bid 1♦. I think both are obvious.

If I were desperate for IMPs I'd bid 1♥.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

I would raise diamonds if partner opened them (I prefer inverted, but if I must bid 3D to show this hand, so be it).
If partner opened 1C, I would bid 1D. There is a lot of reasons, not the least of which with partner having clubs, I don't really want to play the hand in nortrump from my side of the table. I assume minors will not be a problem for possible NT contract, but leads from either major it would better in the long run if partners holding in those suits got to play last (positional value)
First hand or not, vulnerable or not, that is how I would bid this hand.
