a problem.
I want to bid 4 hearts but i won't know what to do if opps bid 4 spades (which is quite likely)...
and I am not sure that a 3 diamond bid here is very helpful either.
What would 2nt be here? |

4H and if opps bid 4S, I pass. |

I bid 4H as I wanted the opps to have more of a guess whether to bid 4S at unfavorable. If I bid it slow I "know" a 3S bid is coming on my left. The problem came from pards point of view as 4H sounded preemptive so 5H was bid when 4S was going down.

100% of blame to North, for bidding on with such an extremely defensive hand -- one trick less declaring than partner expects, because of the missing heart, and a correspondingly increased chance that a heart will cash.
That's assuming your style allows for the 2H opening, which isn't something I like to see my partners do in first seat on KQ754 even at favorable.

6 points and a 5 card heart suit opening 2H in first seat..... is this a new style coming to light? I would be a very irritated opp when I realized the north holding |

Maybe North forgot that Muiderberg 2H ( weak 5h/4+minor ) was not on the card. |

| I wouldn't dream of opening that North hand a Muiderberg 2H at IMPs (or a weak 2), let alone sac over 4S. Unlucky for South. |

| We dont have 5 cards suits as part of our agreements as evidenced by my 4H bid but I like the bid. I just don't think a weak 2 bidder is allowed to take another bid regardless of the hand even if they think my bid shows weakness, not strength. |

"I just don't think a weak 2 bidder is allowed to take another bid regardless of the hand..." Agree! There are some exceptions if you use fit jumps and fit non-jumps. Those responses "turn opener's judgement back on". But when responder raises to game, the purpose is ambiguous - responder knows, the opps do not, and opener is NOT invited to speculate. |
