PASS
"Genius has its own limitations, however stupidity has no such boundaries!"
"It's only when a mosquito lands on your testicles that you realize there is always a way to solve problems without using violence!"

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."

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

In first seat? Is this your way of saying that even illegal calls are better than opening 1♠, etc?

I also pass. One of my all-time favorite hands is getting to 6♠ after my initial pass with:

I passed at the table, which I considered fairly obvious.

The bidding was:
P - 1♦ - 2♣ - 2NT
P - 3NT- AP
I incorrectly (?) led a heart which allowed 9 tricks to come through.
Every other table was in a spade contract making 10 tricks.

and what does your original pass have to do with anything? The result was due to East making a horrible call that worked out. 2N was idiotic and had he passed, as would 100% of people who know how to play the game, you probably end up in spades, whether you bid them now or run after opener reopens with double, passed to you.

thanks for clearing that up- I did not see how the other tables bid it.
