Biss Boss suit

Might be dangerous at this vulnerability but I think I'd be too tempted and bid 2♠ (last round).

Pass seems like a standout to me. Spades are not splitting. What source of tricks do we have. I see probably 4 spade tricks and 2 !C and that's about it.

If I for some reason felt compelled to bid the time to do it would have been a round earlier and a level lower.

The OS would have me bid 3♠ as an IJO from the outset

[jillybean]

Lately we've talked a little about beginner freeze, I was not sure what to do first round.
When it came back to me in 3H, I'm wondering about a psych.

As far as I can see, 4H is making. Given your 3S bid, East knows, West does not have a lot of
wastage in spade.

I would also suggest, that you forget about the existence of psychs.
In Why you loose at Bridge, S.J. Simon describes an episode, he had, he was playing against an
renowned expert, who loved to psych, ... in the end basically all had their bids, and it was
good for him, although he though during the bidding, that they tried to cheat him out of his
inheritance.

It is not clear, if they would bid 4H without 3S, most likey the would, but you know your customers
better.

I was happy with the result, 4♥ & +1 made at the other tables.
Psychs usually don't enter my mind. This opponent & this auction had me wondering.
