Scoring: IMP

---

(1♦)-1♠-(2♦)-P
(P)-2♠-(p)-p
(3♦)-All pass
(Edited: Bidding did not end with 2♠, but with 3♦)
 
I don't remember my exact hand (I thought that I had only 11HCP). I started with 1♠ overcall because I felt too strong for a weak 2♠, and continues with 2♠ to show a 6-card and around an opening (11-16, we would start with a DBL if more).
 
Looks like South has shown his hand and North dos not really have a bid.
 
Do you think the good 4♠ should be reached here?

Game is at best 50%, so calling it a good game is
not really true.
You want to bid it, but if you miss it, that is not the
end of the world.

The 2S bid by South was a slight underbid, change
the Ace of clubs to the King of Queen, and you would
still bid 2S.
Of course no where is written, that you cant have a max.
for your call, and 3S is a slight overbid.

South decided to bid only 2S, it was a good decision,
although slightly unlucky.

With kind regards
Marlowe

game is borderline and unbiddable unless some major steaming.

trumps 32 68% & clubs finesse about 60% = 40%

Interesting. I didn't even occur to me to bid 3♠.
(Maybe I play too much MP's.)
3♠ does feel more like a 7-card ♠ with some points, but maybe a 6-4 also warrants a 3♠ bid.

you can bid double over 2♦ with either south's or north's cards, but it is borderline.
