Scoring: MP

RHO opens 1C (better minor).
Your agreement with partner is that Unusual NT is two lowest unbid suits.
What should be the plan?


If you pass or bid 1D, LHO bids 2S (weak) and it's passed back around to you. What then?

Hi,

1D.

The reason is, that this bids gives me the best chance to listen,
sometimes you hear things, which will help you.

Over 2S, I would go with 3D, I hate undiscussed bidding of their
suits.

With kind regards

yep, for those who need cues in opener's minor after overcalling and not yet finding a fit--chickens are coming home to roost.

On which planet is 3♣ not unambiguously natural?
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

1♦ and next 3♣ the reason is that 4♣ and 5♣ don't look as natural as 3♣.
