2♠ I guess...

Sorry I would bid 1♠ round before, but now that I think of it, I am not sure if 3♥ after 2♣ is foricng or not.

[H_KARLUK]

2S natural. Still responder's reverse.

[the hog]

2S

[rogerclee]

3♠, thought this was the routine bid.

[Codo]

2 ♠ natural and forcing, wtp?

[whereagles]

2♠ + 3♠ next. Would have started with 1♠, but, as it went, I have an easy way to bid the hand.

[Phil]

I would have though this is a 2♠ WTP, however, I have seen two cases in the last few days of competent players passing 2♠.

[Mosene]

Passing a reverse like bid of a new suit by a non-passed hand. Maybe that is non-forcing, but it sure doesn't feel non-forcing. Would a double show a 5-4 10 points or so hand?

wow me too -- i can't think of any reason why 2♠ should be NF

[mtvesuvius]

2♠ wtp? If partner passes, send them to Jillybean's charity tournement .

My first instinct was 2S too as it's pretty much GF. But then 3S also looks natural as if it's 6-5. So if 3S shows 6-5, what's the difference between that and 2S->3S.
