We are vulnerable and the biding goes

W - N .- E - S
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.1♦
1♠-2♣*-2♠

2♣* = Non forcing.



I wanted to raise, but I though game could be possible our side if partner happened to have 1 heart. That would be quite likelly if he had 3 diamonds, so I wanted to investigate his diamond support. Given that opponents would bid 3♠ 100% I thouigh there was no trouble.


W - N .- E - S
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.1♦
1♠-2♣*-2♠-3♦!
3♥-4♦ -4♥

Now it was clear partner was 4135, 3136, or 4126 so I bid game confidently. Wich was doubled.

The full hand.

-500 wasn't worth many MPs

Let me repeat:

- your partner bit a non forcing 2♣ showing 5+♣ with a weak hand
- knowing about your ♣ fit, you suspected a doublefit in the minors, so instead of preempting 4♣ at once, you decided to leave lots of bidding space to opps and help them to find out about their doublefit in the majors.
- after opps found out about their doublefit in the majors and that they can bid game and that they are holding a very good (for them) trump break against each of your minors, you sacrifice in red.
