We did not get to a very good spot on this deal. Would you have done better?

Scoring: IMP

1♥-1♠
3♣-3NT

Is that what you meant by not a very good spot?
... 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

looks like 6d down one might be a great result. Making would just be gravy at matchpoints. At IMPs, super. If it wasnt given as a problem on the forum, I doubt we would get to diamonds. Just being honest.

Was 4N intended as natural or RKC?

I would feel pretty unlucky to go down in 6♦.

With Jason, would clearly be RKCB. Note that both hands pushed in the auction.

For what it's worth I was opener. Although responder hasn't shown any real strength, he hasn't limited his hand either. I just would imagine after responder bid 4♦, I would exuberant with my hand. Hard to know for sure. The final bump of 5♦ to 6♦ was speculative, but I couldn't imagine responder bidding 4♦ without the Q!

Hi

we would end up in 3NT, gnashers auctions,
although we would have an additional round
of bidding, 3D over 3C, responder searching
for 3 card support.

Discovering the 6-2 fit in diamonds is nearly
impossible in a natural system.

With kind regards
Marlowe

1♥-1♠
3♣-3♦


I think it is possible to now bid 3NT and bid 5♦ with south's cards, but I don't think I wold do it at the table.
