I have no method to find 3N so I am bidding 4♦

And now I pass and consider it to be automatic. Partner better not have that 12 count you posted!!

We have a bad 13 count and doubled already so now we obviously pass partner's minimum response, but what does this have to do with Advanced/Expert bridge?
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Why is this in the advanced/expert section? I made an aggressive double on an aceless hand and partner made the weakest possible bid, (which may only be a 3 carder eg 3334). This is an obvious pass.

IMO _P = 10, 4♦ = 5, 3♠ = 2.
A question of style. No problem for us because partner could have bid 4♣ to suggest a choice of games (not a slam try)

You're joking with these score? Anything but pass is an obvious zero.

I would pass 3♣ but can live with the double.

Don't know anyone who plays 3♦ as forcing.

Pass is automatic. You don't have anything extra. Partner is allowed to be broke. Partner is also allowed to show some sign of life if he thinks game is possible.

I was gonna write/ask the same thing that numeric and The Hog did. But when read some of the responses and the scores given to some of the bids except PASS, i decided not to. It has been a pretty day so far for me and I ain't gonna let anyone get on my nerves today :D
