E deals and opens 1♠, what do you bid and does vulnerability make any difference ?

Your lead:

First case, partner deals and opens a precision (0+ cards) diamond, S bids 3N to play ending the auction

Second case, partner opens a 3+ card diamond, S overcalls 2♣, you bid 2♥ (NF), N bids 2♠, E passes and S bids 5♣ ending the auction.

5d, give on slam.

1) Double if ELC is in play, 2♦ otherwise. I want to keep ♥s visible.
2a) ♥5, where I live, hoping the ♦K is a reentry.
2b) ♦3 - I might need to lead a♥ later from my side....

1. 5 ♦ who cares about the hearts if they have the spades- and this is a TM.Red/white I would think a little longer, but still.

2.1. Q of Hearts

2.2 systemic low diamond

#1 5D, I dont think I would consider the vulnerability

#2.1 hearts
#2.2 diamond

With kind regards

Yes, but if so it probably needs to be trick 2, hence lead the KD to retain the lead.

Hand 1: I bid 5♦ more because I had no idea what to do if opps bid lots of spades than anything else, partner had the inevitable:

---

they didn't lead a trump so I made 7 for a flat board.

Opps had:

Team mates playing precision led a heart on the first auction, 3N+2 -460

We had the second auction, our opponents were having one of those sessions where anything they did went wrong and led the Q♥, I won the ace, drew trumps and tabled 10♥ pinning the 9 for +400 and only a 2 IMP loss.
