You are South,  IMPS,  NS Vulnerable.

Here is your hand:

S - 6 5 4

H - A K 7 4

D - Q 5 3

C - 9 8 2

 

The Bidding is:

What do you bid?

Ernie Retetagos: 3 NT,  Assure partner that hearts are double stopped.

Gail Carns: 3C I hope partner bids again but if not I don't see a game

Trudy Cohn: 3C I will bid three clubs. Partner must have a big hand with at least five clubs. I have already limited my hand with the one no trump bid so it's time to show a modicum of support.

Florine Walters: 3 NT. Partner should have a good hand with a void in Hearts, so I might as well convey the message that I have a double stopper in Hearts, and a pretty good 1 NT bid, and am not interested in any other game.

Asim Ulke: 3NT Presumably partner has a good hand with 4-0-4-5 diatribution. I have enough to bid 3NT

Mary Paulone Carns : 3C.  Partner should be 4-0-4-5 without a game force (1S isn't forcing).

PJ Prabhu: 2NT. I'm torn between this and 3C. I switched my choice since we are vulnerable at IMPs. Partner appears to be 4=0=4=5. 3C is safer, but if we have game, it will be in NT. Hence I'll show my double stoppers and invite 3NT.

Arlene Port: 3C. I believe that 2D is forcing, at least to 3C. Partner does not seem too happy about NT, so —— (and the best part of this is that I saw what was perceived as the best answer)

Herb Sachs: Pass. I would have bid 2 clubs over 1 spade, so I am passing 2 diamonds. I have no bid.

Marvin Rulin: 2 NT I have no 5 card major.
