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

6D is the worst bid since it is just not bridge, you have a hand which is not good at all for saving (bad trumps, doubleton heart, etc) and might have already won a lot by making your completely marginal preempt.

Not doubling 5D is pretty terrible, I would call that second worst

5D was pretty aggressive but not crazy.

Bidding 4H instead of 4D was bad but understandable if he didn't want to make a 1-under cuebid when partner on average has 1-2 diamonds (and so his AK is not pulling its weight).

6♦.

In a class of it's own.

My original 5♦ was a typo.

We should always assume 2/1 unless otherwise stated, because:

- If the original poster didn't bother to state his system, that means that he thinks it's obvious what he's playing. The only people who think this are 2/1 players.

6D is clearly the worst bid, cuz its lol... I mean w/w with nothing...???????????

5H is lol with all defense and balanced and no offense...


5D is quite bad, but nothing compared to 5H and 6D imo.

FWIW 4H instead of 4D is bad, the hand is too good for 4H which is usually min GF or max LR...but compared to the rest of the bids it's whatever.

In addition to all the other bids already discussed, I don't much like the 3♦ overcall. A very pure hand like this, and with a solid suit, seems ideal for a 4♦ overcall, even w/w.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

5♦ is a 1 on the badness scale (from 1 to 10)
4♥ gets a 1.5
5♥ is 25 (seriously?? AK tight of trumps????)
6♦ gets 150
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.
