As dealer You holds
1NT-2
♦
2
♥-3
♦
I'll tell you my thoughts you tell me yours...
6
♦ would be better then 6
♥ so you might want to bid 3
♠ showing support.
On the other hand, if partner is intrested in game only 4
♥ is your spot and maybe you should bid the "obvious" 3
♥.
Soppose you bid 3
♥ and see partner going for a slam you can jump to 6
♦ and hope for good.
If instead you bid 3
♠ showing support for
♦ then if partner bid 3NT you are fine now because 4
♥ must show fit and not a cue.
If on 3
♠ partner bid 4
♣ or 4
♦ then 4
♥ would probebly be a cue (is it ?) but maybe its just fine because if he cue we like slam the
♦ slam.
So ill go for 3
♠, agree ?
Responder's sequence here has the Standard meaning of being a 55 H+D GF hand with interest in slam. My comments are based on this and not valid if you have other meanings for what hand Responder is showing here.
I like 1N-2D+;2H-3D;3H best here given that
a= We are in a GF auction, so we have time to show the double fit in H+D.
b= When both 6H and 6D make, 6H scores better.
(you have not mentioned the conditions of contest.)
3S is also a good bid, but I prefer to
1= confirm we have a 53 fit in H's. Later I will confirm the double fit.
2= have an explicit agreement about what an immediate cue bid in a Black suit here.
When I cooperate by bidding anything other than 3N or 4H, GOP should know that I'm interested in slam as well.
