MP's
West/all red

You play a Big Club system with a strong NT (16-18) and the opening bid of 1♦ promises 10-15 HCP, 2+-card ♦ and denying a 5-card in the majors. 1♦ also denies 6-card ♣.

Sitting South You hold:
♠ A 4
♥ K 8 4
♦ A 7 5
♣ K 8 7 5 2

The auction:
West----North----East----South
pass----pass-----pass----1♦*
pass----pass-----1♠----pass
pass----2♦--------2♥-----?

Well, what card in the biddingbox is Your choice and most of all why?

pass. Maybe you should bid 2♣ last round. There's no sane option now but the green card
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Hi,

a direct 2D from p would have been?

As it is, your partners gamble did not work out, it showed,
why it usually does not pay trying to buy the contract at the
1 level, the oppoenents are there and some have the ability
to listen to the auction, and the given auction basically tells
them that the points are 20-20.

I think 3C is not a bad bid, I also think that 2NT should show
clubs and diamonds, maybe 2NT showes longer diamonds,
and 3C longer clubs, but there may also be a reason to play
it the other way round.

But I also dont think, that bidding is matadory.

With kind regards

X. I'm surprised this is even a question.

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."

Pass wtp. You pushed them a level higher at mps, even though you have less than half the deck. Don't get a bottom for no reason.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

I agree kenresford. Whatever partner tried, I have 2xA, HK behind H-bid another K. Super defense for what I have so far done. "Partner, what is your best guess?"

Pass -- even if the partnership style to to pass 1♦ holding 8 HCPs with say 5 ♦ or something along those lines, do you seriously want to risk defending 2♥-X?
