Scoring: IMP

2♣* - 3♥ - 3♠ - 4♥
4NT - ?


Your're north, west opens strong 2♣, e/w are on their way to 6♠, your partner will lead if you let them play. What now (and later)?

I'm happy to bid 5♥ now, not willing to bid 6♥ over 5♠, and doubling 6♠ for a diamond lead, though a club lead is also reasonable.

Depends on your agreements.

5♦ followed by passing 6♠, or, if you are sufficiently confident you and partner are on the same page you could try 5♣ followed by doubling 6♠ to request a ♦ lead.

BTW, would never have overcalled just 3♥ here at favorable.   4♥ and 5♥ are both more enterprising alternatives.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

I would just pass, I don't want to scare them away from bidding 6. When they bid 6 I will pound it.

I wouldn't bid 3♥ against a strong opening with 8 cards.

We are white vs red? I certainly would have bid 4♥, but anyway, it seems 3♥ is working out if I pass now...

BAM

I would have bid 4 last round, but now I'm sure glad I didn't. I will also double 5 if that's where RHO signs off. And if he bids 6 I fully intend to tell him I would have doubled 5 :P
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

We are white vs red, how can you bid only 3H with an 8-card suit!?!?!?
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

Scoring: IMP


Neither table doubled 6♠ in the vugraph match. One table made 6♠+1 (south led ♥Q), other table 7♥X -4 for 12 IMPS.

edit: I corrected the vulnerability

Agree. No reason to act now. Double looks clear. Pard has 2 chances to get it right.
