Playing a team match, last hand with 1 IMP lead, both sides vulnerable... you hold:



Are you bidding anything?

If you pass, the bidding proceeds


Are you bidding now? If so, what?

I could have bid 2♦ previously, but I'll try 3♦ now.

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

I would definitely have bid 2♦ on the previous round.

2D first time round. If LHO bids 2S, passed back to me, I double second time round (assuming I bid the first time round).

I bid 2♦ the first time. Since I would never be in this situation, I abstain.

I agree with 2♦, but given the pass, I think 2NT (2 places to play) may be an interesting alternative to balance with.

I'd expect 2NT-3♣-3♦ to show 5-5 in the reds. The normal way to show four hearts and longer diamonds is to double and then convert clubs to diamonds.

2♦ and x. Not surprised to see we have a club fit after this start.

Looking at responder's hand I am very surprised to see they have a 10 card spade fit.
