Thanks guys, I reasoned that 1♥ might give me better chances to show the 2-suiter but looks like I'm wrong!

Later in this thread you imply that your pard usually insists upon having 6 pts to respond, making this even more clear to open 2♣

Hi,

2C - but 1H is not stupid.

If you get a 2nd chance, which is highly likely, there are 13 diamonds
out there, playing forcing NT will also increase the liklihood, you have
an easy 2nd bid with 2S.

Given the strong suit, you can sell the hand as a 1-suiter, unless p
introduces spades by himself.

With kind regards
Marlowe
