Scoring: IMP


          p-1♠
2♥-p-3♥*-?

Pass
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

I pass as well. Our 16 count is now a 13 count. Yes we have reasonable shape, but I think partner can work that out as well. Not also what partner didn't do. He didn't raise to 2♠ nor did he make a negative double. So sounds like it's the opponent's hand.

Partner had the opportunity to make a negative double or a raise to 2♠ and chose to pass. My hand is OK, but nothing special. I see no reason to do anything but pass over 3♥.

Obvious pass, defensive hand, partner didn't bid ♠ fit, no pressure at all

Partner should bid 4♣ (at least). He knows I am short in hearts.

There is a lot to be said for him bidding 5♣.

Equally obvious 4♣ over 3♥.
