Unfav. You have agreed something similar to the agreement recently described by gnasher, i.e. partner bids 4♥ on most limit raises.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Looks like 1NT to me...

I must have miscounted for my opening... Although I've been doing that lately... :)

I'm passing here though... Partner needs a really good hand. xx AKxx x xxxxxx would probably bid 4♥, x Kxxx Kxxx QJT9 is about the best it would get (we might have missed slam then :))

If I held 14 cards I would bid game. I am a heavy favorite to win trick 14 for my 10th trick.

Would have opened 1NT

I'm torn onthis one.

I suspect that I'd bid 4♥ at IMPs. (Playing 3♥ is shooting at a pretty small target).

MPs I'd lean more towards passing

Agree with 1N and pass. This hand isn't that great opposite a competitive raise.

Pass.

Certainly not a wtp, since game may well make, but
depending on style, partner may have nothing more
than an av. 2H call, i.e. even 3H can go down more
than one.

This hand showes, why it makes sense to add. another
raise of openers major to your existing agreements,
since another raise will make the range of the hands
qualifying for a direct 3H raise smaller.

With kind regards
Marlowe

PS: I would have opened 1H, but of course this is a matter
of partnership agreements.
With kind regards

I'm bidding 4♥. No wasted honors, and you're vul. Yes, alot of hands are not making 4♥, but there are quite a few which do make too.

Agree that this shouldve been opened 1NT.

4 ♥, transfer to 4♠ X.

I do not mind 1 NT or 1 Heart...
Kind Regards

Obvious pass now and an even more obvious 1NT opening.
