I forgot to explain 2 Clubs shows 18-20 with a one-suited hand.

Just bid 5♦ immediately.

Invariably, the ox on the left just trots out their suit at the five level, which is exactly what you want.

So, he would be an oxy moron?

BTW, I would bid 5D over 2H also...but not positive it is a sacrifice. Certainly am not fond of 3D, then 5D, with any holding.

This can easily go for 800. I'll just pass.

Only true in a weak game.
But I agree, if you are tempted to bid 5♦ now, you should have done it on the previous round.

I (perhaps falsely) assumed partner's 2D bid to look different than your partner's 2D bid in this situation.

Certainly the opps are in a GF sequence after 2♥ on this auction. I am a very strong believer in either bidding 5♦ over 2♥ or never bidding it.

2♣ = I wanna play 4M.

How do you feel when you want to bid 4M but opps bid 5m before? well that's what should had happened.

Yes, at RED, that is exactly what I am saying. 2D takes up no room; Partner knows Opener will be bidding 4M; and, there would be no earthly reason to bid 2D except to encourage partner to bid at the 5-level.

It appears natural, but agree I want to know, and would ask immediately.

If it has not been alerted, you know that it's a mistake to ask, right?

Well, LHO has a strong 2 and RHO bid over 2♦... since I got 10, I don't think pard can have much.

Just pretend you are playing 1$/2$ poker and raise the size of the pot. Nobody playing "Benji" will come up with the correct counter (if there is one) more than one time in two.
