I don't like it much. No extra values, club suit is not exactly nice and if any major suit becomes trump (with 4-3 or 4-4 fit), diamond ruffs will likely create trump tricks for RHO.

Give RHO the ♥9 and boom.

I would patiently bid 3♠. If my p has good values, he will bid the game confidently. I have a bare minimum with somewhat defective major points. (Give me AK in clubs and Jxx in hearts and 4♦ is much nicer bid.. but still not enough :angry:)

I would simply bid 3♠ as south in this auction. Minimum and happy to bid my 4-card major.

I agree with Gerben.

Additional problems are that double is not game forcing (and you are minimum) and 4♦ means you will play in a 4-3 heart fit when you have a 4-4 spade fit available, so it really does misdescribe your hand.

Hi,

I agree with the other posts ; the hand above is a minimal 4♦ bid.
You need either the two majors in a non minimum hand, or only one 4th major in a nice hand like this one :





:rolleyes: :D
