All vulnerable, stratified pairs, pro on left, weak client on right.

1♦ on left, pass by pard, 2♦ (NOT inverted) on right. You try 2♥; 3♦ by the pro, pass, pass....?

Nice thread, no hand, no description of the hand, but still asking what I'll bid :P :P

As usual, I'll vote for the missing "OTHER" option...

Well if we want to support the Pro's lecture, we bid 3♥, so he can tell his client what happens if you bid your hand twice.

Pass and let the pro play, they aren't as good as they think, and it is a good chance to demostrate it :-P, double would be nice if it would be taken as penalty :P

This is a nice study.... it just goes to show what happens at most tables... people bid without really paying attention to what they hold... why just todyay my partner bid... well... I guess I should say, but is clear he never looked at his hand. How is this any different?

3H, clearcut. (this was posted before the hand showed up, having seen the hand I would pass).
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

i'd pass.. you've heard from partner twice... if he was interested in doubling diamonds, he had his chance... he also had a chance to bid 3h...

Darnit; wish I'd post the original hand first.

I really wanted an honest evaluation of the hand, since it was the subject of the first Appeals Committee I've ever sat on. :ph34r:

I would pass when vul. DK is a big warning sign. That being said, over a slow pass of 3D I think bidding would be grossly unethical. Certainly pass is a logical alternative to a bid, and certainly a hesitation over 3D would demonstrably suggest bidding. If the director ruled to roll the contract back to 3D and the offenders appealed, I would assess an appeal without merit warning.
