Everything is -2? in 5c x lose 1c 2s 1d. In 4h lose 2h 2s 1d, still two off?


You might have a chance of making 3♣, though. Unless playing fit non-jumps (or transfers) in this position, it seems clear to pass 3♣. you need an awful lot from partner to be making game.

Were you playing in a jurisdiction where partscores aren't allowed?
... 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

The 3♥ rebid was just horrible. Even if my partner had persuaded me to play 3♣ as forcing (which would take some doing), I would still pass.

We'll probably end up defending 3♠ which needs tight defence to beat.

Phil beat me on this when I was about to reply similar if not the same.

Remember also what Justin said in another topic
Bid-bid-bid-bid in a competitive auction about being NF

It's amazing otoh how people have too strong opinions about a bid that is close. One of them talking about an opening hand for a 2 level overcall and another one calling "chicken" to those who passes. Seems to me some people have no place in their life for the colors between black and white.

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."
