I cannot resist 3♥.

When partner supports hearts, we have a better shot of an additional trick in the suit, and obviously go back to 4♠. The windfall comes in when partner bids 3N, which my hand screams for.

Over 3♠, I'll pass at MPs, but bid game at IMPs.



Ken stop using Phil's account !! :P

3S for me but only as MY partner can be fairly weak for this bid, including having only 5♠ and I am a 4333. If playing more conventional (normal?) weak 2's I would probably bid 4 at imps and though I think 3 is fine at pairs, at the table I'd probably bid 4 as well.

Not bidding 4♠ at IMPs is a serious offense against bridge. Could understand (but not like) 3♠ at MPs, since the scores are field-depending.

If I can't invite, 3S seems to be the percentage call, no?

Speaking as an advocate of bridge, can I ask why you think so?
Nevermind, I missed the word "NOT" at the beginning.
There is a big difference between a good decision and a good result. Let's keep our posts about good decisions rather than "gotcha" results!

I learned more about the poster than about the issue from that.

Is 3s a bar bid? Or is an invite?
I have 3S to bar partner - purely hoping 3S is right.
And I have 3H as a transfer raise to invite.
I choose 3H.

no way to invite in your methods.
