Scoring: IMP


LHO starts with a pass, but RHO is dealer. So we summon a director, and partner declines to accept the call. LHO now must pass at his first opportunity, but can bid afterward. The opps are good players playing 4 card majors. RHO now opens 1♠. What is your call?

One funny option is 2NT.

Partner picks a minor, Opener passes, YOU PASS, and LHO bids 4♠, ruining the fun of RHO's psychic 1♠ opening.

And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

I would double and bid 2NT.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

kenrexford is correct. It is the perfect time for a psyche and we must look out for that. I have no partnership agreement on how to handle this situation. Over partner's response, I wouldn't have enough nerve to pass and would bid 3♠ to show a true ♠ suit.
