3D and 4H

Edit: I prefer 4H on the first hand on second thought. Meh, no strong opinion.

IMO 4♥ in both cases.

3D with the first one.
I bid 4H with the second one but I think I am going down a bit more often than making, no intelligent game try there though.

I think that 4H with the first one is very serious overbid even for my standards and I am game basher by nature. I would prefer to pass than bid 4H.

EDIT : I've got first and second confused; i bid 4h oposite 4 trumps of course

What he said, the first time.

4♥ opposite the 4 card raise.

Also no strong feelings about what to bid opposite a standard raise. Don't mind 4♥, even 3♥ seems OK. Playing short suit trials 3♣ seems fine too.

just bid game!

fwiw....


6h and a stiff......=game.

Meckstroth rule:

6M + support = game
