Scoring: IMP


You open 1♠ and get 2♦ from partner showing either 4-7 with 6+ hearts or GF with 5+hearts.

For weak hand 2♥ is signoff and 2NT is invitational or better.

Do you think this hand is worth more than 2♥?

2NT.

At least if we can assume, that p will have his values in hearts,
if he has the weak option.

2♥ is pretty obvious imo.

If partner showed 4-7 with 6+ hearts and had denied a spade fit you would pass, so....
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

This question should not be in the A/E forum.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

Seems that 2♥ is almost a clear cut bid.
We bid it at the table this way.

Partner had:


And with friendly layout we made 11 tricks.

So this game is practically unbiddable?

Played from the side with the heart length, it seems to require a very friendly lie to make 4. Can easily see losing 3 diamonds and a heart; or two diamonds a diamond ruff and a heart; or 2 diamonds and two hearts (if all the x's are really x's).

Played from the other side, I suspect game has better chances (less likely that an early diamond attack will be successful)--but probably would still just transfer/strong NT and play 2H. Some might raise to 3 after transferring.
