White vs Red, teams, you pick up this beauty:
♠K
♥932
♦AKJ7542
♣Q9
However, the dealer on your left opens 1♦, your partner overcalls 1♠ and RHO passes.
1♦-1♠-Pa-???
What would you bid?
Say it goes on:
1♦-1♠-Pa-1NT
Pa-2♣-Pa-???
What should your partner's 2♣ be? What would you bid then and there?

You have diamonds but that's their suit...

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

What can it be ? Partner doesn't take my 1NT too seriously (looking at his void ♦) .
What can i do now lol. Is a 7 cards suit good enough to play it as the level 2?
I bid 2d. But have no clue if partner will pass.

Pd did not open Mike, he overcalled your single suit probably he is void/stiff in your best suit which is also LHO's suit. I am really curious how are u planning to make 9 tricks in NT b4 they score 5 tricks even if i give ♦ Q and a fairly good hand to pd?
AQJxx xx Qx Jxxx, now this is hell of a 1♠ overcall but if u dont like it we can even exeggerate his hand to AQJxx KQxx Qx xx. I have a feeling he wont have ♦ Q most of the time, which will reduce your trick potential by a lot.
I dont even know why we all think our hand must bid something.

Wowwww
Btw i still have a 7 cards suit and a KING in my partner's suit and i rather prefer to go down -2 on any idiotic contract than lose a cold game if partner overcaled with good cards,
Or u are apart of the bidders who X having more than 14 hcps?
Is your 1♠ overcal limited to 12-13?
And what is the fun of playing 1♠ in 5-1 fit instead of 2♦ in 7-0 fit ?
I depreciated enough my hand with the 1NT bidding but lol to credit these 13 hcps with 0 values that's a bit funny.

I will take the middle road and bid 2N originally. I doubt I'll have many tough decisions after that.

- No i dont dbl with 14+, i actually overcall upto 18 if need to be.
- Bidding game is not appealing at all to me at these colors. Neither trying to convince my pd that we should play 2♦ and it is natural, even if the auction proceeds as u want it to proceed.
But you bid and make game, you win 5-6 imps, i dont feel strong about passing but i prefer pass to 3 NT on anyday with this hand.

Except that partner may expect a good 4 card raise...
