Scoring: IMP

Just for interest, here are all 4 hands.
Personally after reading all the replies and I appreciated it, I feel that 3♥ is the correct bid. The reason for this feeling is to pass or bid 2♥ gives North/South too much room to explore further. Your combined trump length is also a sort of protection if you should get doubled. . . but I can be proofed wrong here.

I follow the law for unbalanced hands, your hand is balanced. For balanced hands I bid a trick less. If your hand would contain a singleton somewhere I would bid 4♥, with a balanced hand and a 5 card ♥ I bid 3♥.

Isn't 4♠ down on a ♦ lead?

And 5♥ goes down only 2.

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

:huh: You might consider bidding 5♥ if the opponents reach 4♠. It is -800 tho if the ♦ ace is offside, tho. I just don't want to stir them up to begin with. This is not a bad hand for an audacious psyche. At least you have a half-assed desperation landing spot at 5♥ if things get out of hand.

3♥, don't know why a) people are considering the actual hand, one hand proves nothing or b ) why anyone would offer themselves up at the 5 level...

:D You gonna lead a ♦?

Of course, now that I've seen all hands. :huh:

Not sure what I'd lead at the table, but I think ♦ is definitely one of the choices.
