we pick up 2nd seat IMP's all white

Ax
AQJxx
x
AQJxx

And like our hand, but RHO opens 1♣!

1♣-1♥-p-1♠
p-2♣-p-2♥

do you agree with our first two bids? what now?
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

3NT, p should have some values and I dunno how to ask for a diamond stop.

This is fine, I would just bid 4H now and play the 5-2. I don't want to mess around and help them avoid a club lead.

FWIW I agree w/ J, 4♥ was my gut reaction.
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy - but it might improve my bridge.

Hi,

#1 I am not sure, I agree with 2C,
it would not be natural for me,
but than what else can you do?

#2 4H, may make.

With kind regards

I'd start with a double. I really don't see how this can go badly since we have Ax spades, and double and pull is clearly not an overbid with this monster.

I too would have started with double.

Now I think I have to bid game but I don't know which game is best. 3NT or 4♥ and even 4♠ could be reasonable if partner has ♠KQJxx or similar and not much else.

I think a diamond lead is too likely against 3NT so I just bid 4♥ and hope now.

I weould never ever double 1 Club, I would double 1 Diamond.

Now I bid 4 Heart, what else.
Kind Regards
