Scoring: XIMP

1♦-2♣*
2♦-2NT
?
*2♣ is GF


You deal and open in 1st seat, the auction proceeds without inteference from the opponents. What do you think is the best bid now?

3♣ is more descriptive than 3♦.

well I think 3♣ is more sophisticated but I'm sure I'd just succumb to the temptation to bid my 7 card suit at the table.

how many diamonds have I promised by 2♦? in some systems it can still be 3 and just shows a minimum hand.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

2♦ was 5+♦ and is usually unbalanced.

I like 3♣. I'll hear about secondary diamond support this round if there is any. Yay for making the lowest reasonable bid.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

so looks like people bid 3♣, what do you do next with partner's hand:

I like 4♣. Shows that we aren't too intent on notrump and that we don't have diamond support or a concentration of strength in one major. If partner's got a hand like Axx x AQxxxx Qxx, slam isn't bad, and partner could have a lot more than this here. I want partner's hand driving this one since he knows the diamond story better than I do.

With the major Quacks I would bid 3 NT. I did not bid it in the first nor in the second round of the bidding for a reason but now it is time to bid it. Partner need not to pass.

3D.

I have 7 of those, and even if I treat the suit as a 6 carder,
I did not show the 6th diamond until now.

it is very easy:

1♦-2♣
2♦-2NT
3♣-3NT
4♦-hesitation+5♣
6♣ (he has no major cue so he must cover the minors)

Just for the record, this bidding is ilegal, its just a joke, not a recommended auction.
