Scoring: IMP

(P)-P-(1♥)-1♠
(2♥)-3♥-(4♦)-?


2♥ is the bad raise to 2♥

4♠ on the 'two ways to win' theory. They also told me my clubs may be a double fit.

Did I read this right? Partner bid michaels... why would we double lol? This could easily be a double game swing.

You didn't.

The nuts? Or, just plain nuts?

What on earth are y'all thinking here?

We have a ridiculously high defense-to-offense ratio. Defensively, we have two Aces, a stiff in Opener's second suit, the Ace of their trump suit, the Jack with the club Ace, and the lead. Offensively, we do have nice control in the red suits, and clubs may very well provide a second trick source, but we have crap in spades.

Plus, partner is a passed-hand cuebidder who did not make any sort of fit bid instead.

Plus, partner has time to bid.

Plus, we are red on white.

Pass seems obvious.

Ken seems to be the only sane one for a change. Pass.
Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!

OK I knew I had something wrong but I couldn't see it lol.

I would pass for sure.

How many is that, four aces? No wonder you love your defense! I'm going to analyze that way from now on, for optimism.

I have two aces, the ace of their trump suit, the club jack with the ace, both round suit aces, and the ace of my side suit. Therefore I open 2♣.

If you need me to make the closing statement for your next case, I'm available.
