Pass is automatic, AKJxx xx x AKxxx is a good guideline for what a minimum 3C bid looks like.

for all we know?? My partner definitely has only two spades. And if perchance he forgot we are not playing constructive raises and has a bad hand with 3, the opponents would have been heard from by now.

LOL...this means I pass as fast as I can click on the pass button. I'd need to hold Roger's example hand to make a game try on this sequence.

I'd move again. Spade Jack makes the difference.

If partner has a bad hand with 3 spades, does that make me want to bid? Even a magic Kxx, xxx, xxxx, QJx isn't even 50%!
I tend to lead fourth best - as opposed to the best suit, the second best suit, or the third best suit for our side

Thanks Neil, I had no idea what this meant. I have read the phrase in a few of Lall's posts and had no frickin idea in what language he was posting.
