But I agree; wtp?

OK, I have to confess - somehow your wtp made me scroll and before I did I thought "what joke is he about to make about Gerber?" :ph34r:

Hehe, it reminds me of the movie Speed. To some people, any time you bid beyond 3NT without a major suit fit it's like the bus going below 50 mph, and there are too many innocent lives at stake to risk that!

If I bid 3♦ it is like asking for a stopper, responder can bid 3♥ (showing 2 cards to a honor) or 3♠ showing a spade but no diamond stopper. Over 3♥ I can bid 4♣, over 3♠, 3NT.

If the previous is just a rambling and doesn't make sense then I agree with 4♣.

Agree with 4♣, a lot of players get this kind of hand wrong and bid 3NT. 3NT can work, but it seems clear to me that we will make 3N and go down in 5♣ much less often than the other way around (mostly because of spades), and 4♣ will also get us to some slams. I would bid 3NT at matchpoints of course.

4♣, support with support. My hand is suit oriented. 5♣ is probably as good as 3NT on average, and we just might have a slam.
Kind regards,
Harald
