N passes at fav imps and it goes

p-p-1♠-2♣

what's your sequence thereafter? opps pass from now.

sorry if too ez

[Codo]

I would double to show 4 hearts. If partner bids diamonds, I will bid hearts and he may understoand that I have 2-5 in the majors.
If he bids heart, I raise. If he bids NT I raise, if he bids 2 ♠ I pass.

So the further bidding here will be
X (pass) 2 ♦ (pass)
2 ♥ (pass) 2 ♠ all pass

If partner is not exactly on the same wavelength, he may pass 2 ♥, which is fine too.

[helene_t]

2♥, partner may have 3 of them and if he has a singleton he won't pass often, as he knows I am unlikely to have 6. If he passes with 2 hearts he probably doesn't have 6 spades as with a (sub)mininimum he would have opened 2♠. I think 2♥ always takes us to our best fit. Besides I don't want to encourage p to bid 3♦ if LHO bids 3♣.

[whereagles]

2♥ 2♠
3♠ 4♠

seems ok.

[Jlall]

2H-2S-p seems super easy/normal.

[akhare]

2♥...2♠ seems easy enough. N would likely pass in a limited opening system, but others may want to stretch with 2N (QJXX of ♣s seems worthless in a suit contract).

I am guessing the other table landed in 3N and made ...

I might play 2♣X

Me too but after I pass (and I would) many pards would re-open with 2 diamonds or 2 spades.

2nt (or 3 spades) by me now should lead to either 3nt or 4 spades. No gaurantees, but I like our chances.

[Crunch3nt]

I think planning to defend 2Cx at this vulnerability is very obvious. North has a clear pass, and south a clear reopening double even if North hesitated before passing.

So a 6241 hand is a reopening double and a 2524 with the great QJxx in trumps, a possible 5/4 major fit is a clear pass?

Wow, had never occured to me.

Gonzalo, you are a Wundertüte. (Whatever this is in English or Spanish...)

[fromageGB]

If transfers are on the card, it's an easy 2♦ then 2♠. That seems to sum it up.

[gwnn]

well no theyre not on the card.

we double very agressivelly at the 2 level yes, but you have to see what kind of overcalls they do here!
