Abstain. I probably would have just bid 5♦ at my first turn. Be more worried about missing slam than anything.

Agree with 1D, 5D now. I don't think that I can bid less when all I need to make is a 2-2-2 split.

As a side question, say I wanted to cuebid, what should I bid? I think 2C is clearly natural, so it should be 2H or 2S. They both feel natural to me as well, certainly 2H does.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

I'll go for 4♦ because I'm a wimp. Heck I could even see myself getting doubled off right there.

Auto 5♦ now, anything else is pusillanimous. And I'm not expecting a 2-2-2? split. And I'm sending it back.

A diamond bid, I would go with 3D, maybe I can
buy the hand at this level, maybe not.

I dont think I would have bid 5D the round before, we
are strong enough, to make it likely that we can beat
4 level contract of the opponent, so why should I present
them a plus score, without knowing anything about
the hand?

With kind regards

Agree with 1♦. 5♦ now.
The difference between theory and practice is that in theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice, there is.

Sending it back is less ridiculous than bidding 4D. Did you see your hand correctly?

OMG humble pie time, I really didnt see it correctly lol. I had no freaking idea what you meant when you said something in the other thread about the comment on the 2-2-2 break throwing me off, when actually it did throw me off...

I really do change from "4♦, and XX is ridiculous" to "5♦, and redouble is bad".
