Your call? You have Lebensohl available here.


If you bid 2NT (Lebensohl, your way if you'd like):

Full hand, propose an auction if you'd like, but please respond to the first question before looking and proposing an auction :)

I once yelled at my partner for discarding the 'wrong' card when he was subjected to a squeeze that I allowed by giving the wrong count with too high a card. Now he's allowed to pitch aces when the opponents have the king in the dummy. At trick 2. When he could have followed suit. And blame me.

I agree with 3♦, but, is 4♥ forcing?

I'm void in Diamonds, partner doubled, and RHO couldn't find a raise?
I'm guessing that partner has a balanced hand that is too strong for 2NT.

As boring as it might sound, I'm going to bid a prosaic 6♣
Might miss a grand, but such is life

BTW, given the vulnerability I actually consider pass reasonable...

That's an amusing idea, but OTOH, given the vulnerability I wouldn't be surprised to find LHO with 7 diamonds and RHO with 3343.

When pard dbls, we have a void and RHO passes, it's likely pard has some sort of strong NT hand, probably above the usual 15-18 range, which would bid 2NT over 2♦.

I'll bid 4♣ now.

With regards to the full hand:

Obviously with the listed hands 4♣ sets you on the right path, and considering the immense disparities in suit length and strength it certainly gives the best picture of your hand.

Suppose that the auction goes (as if opener's majors were reversed):
(2♦)-X-(P)-3♦
(P)-3♠-(P)-?

Is 4♣ now better off as a cue confirming spades, or a second suit?
I once yelled at my partner for discarding the 'wrong' card when he was subjected to a squeeze that I allowed by giving the wrong count with too high a card. Now he's allowed to pitch aces when the opponents have the king in the dummy. At trick 2. When he could have followed suit. And blame me.

I think 4♣ (as a response to a takeout double) is forcing but 3♦ then 4♣ is still just clubs. We can't just make all these minor suit bids cuebids, we need them.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

That was my first thought too :)

The advantage is that if partner lacks a ♠ control, you might still make.
