Even I think I would pass it... However we will only be in 6♦ at my table .

Just wondered who would open 3D all green first in hand?
I would in one partnership, but not in the other.

White/red I would open that with 3D, and other vulnerabilities I would pass (though could see some conditions where I'd do it w/w, wouldn't be my normal action).

silly question removed
It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.

I would at favourable. With nobody vulnerable, I'd need it to be x xx Jxxxxxx Kxx.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

I would. And I like to believe we would have a fair chance of stopping in 6♦.

We should always assume 2/1 unless otherwise stated, because:
- If the original poster didn't bother to state his system, that means that he thinks it's obvious what he's playing. The only people who think this are 2/1 players.

On a S lead best line is probably the C hook, and hope to bring down KC in 3 rounds. Well the hook works but on the actual layout only 12 tricks are available.
I seem to have 12 tricks by ruffing a heart in dummy, and then a choice of which way to take the club finesse for the 13th. On a non-club lead, by the time we come to make this decision, we'll have seen the lead, the trump break, three rounds of hearts, and a couple of discards from each side. Do we mind being in 7♦ on this?
