Play Walsh and you bid 1h with this hand.

You only bid 1D with a game force hand when you have a major suit.

Your bidding is ok Wayne, with another ♠ 3♠ would be ok as well, some would say mandatory.


About biddding 1♦... well walsh says you should bid 4c major first, but I don't see any 4c major

[luke warm]

are you asking from south's view? i'd be leery of bidding here because of the 1D bid...

Hi,

if you had 4 spades, you just would follow the Law,
if you bid 3S.

With kind regards
Marlowe
