If you write 96 % in your collum, there are three possibilities:
1. You are insane and got lucky
2. The opps are insane and you got lucky.
3. You bid/played a hand better then anybody else on this planet.
I still wait for 3 to happen.
1 NT ihad been clear cut/ 3 Diamond was insane, mabye they had been insane too with their bids, what do I know.

I would surely bid 1NT.
I don't think this is the right line of thinking. But even if we follow it, then either partner has only 3 diamonds and it is a disaster in 3♦ or he has 4 and we have a reentry to the hand on the fourth round.
(I assume the minors were reversed, and we have ♦Jxxx ♣xxx, not ♦xxx ♣Jxxx)

Hey Lu,
What's wrong with 1NT? Surely you would rather have five diamonds for the 3♦, maybe sometimes you will have to bid 3♦ on a fourcard suit, but here you have a perfect 1NT bid.

i bid 3 diamonds because i had some defense in their bid suits and it was the only 4 card suit jxxx
and also i have never seen anything good happening when i bid nt in these situations, the opps will lead other suits, and i might not even get to those spades
yes roland, #2, the opps were indeed insane, my rho dbled holding nothing but 2 diamonds and 2 sapdes
and also when people bid nt that way when i am the opp, i forgo the 4th best, i lead 3 card suits and they are bamboozzled
maybe it is my life in palookadom
