Scoring: MP

Sitting south, the bidding goes:
P-P-1♦-X
P-[1HE]-2♣-2♥
?


What do you bid now after 2♥?

3♦. Partner (should) know you don't have much, given we didnt raise or bid the first round.

I am too balanced and two defensive to raise. We have a double fit and they have. I doubt that I can push them too high. If they do not have the values for game, partner will surely reopen the bidding.
Kind Regards

3♦, not sure how we could think about failing to support at this point. 2♣ shows more (at least in terms of offense) than a minimum for sure.

3♦ seems obvious, but I would have much preferred to bid 3♦ last round - 3♦ takes away a lot more room than pass.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Agree with Josh, 3♦ seems obvious enough. I wouldn't have any beef with 2♦ on the last round either.

3♦, takes an entire level away from opps and we're safe since we didn't support the previous round. I like the auction so far.

I'd like to play transfers last round and then maybe 2♦ could be OK as only a very small psyche.

Anyway now we bid 3♦ to compete.

3♦ there might be a surprise there, but what I try to acomplish mostly is that LHO cannot reinvite.

3♦ now. I would not have bid the round before, and 3♦ is the only call that I am making on the hand. If partner wants to sac, he can do so. I don't consider my 4-4 in the minors as an indication that I should be bidding again UNLESS partner finds another call indicating that we should sac.

So far they've bid 1H and 2H, neither of which showed very much, not sure why we expect them to bid 4H now.

Perhaps not surprisingly, I wouldn't have considered passing on the round before.

After we bid 3♦ that is partner's problem not ours.

Playing transfers over doubles, so 2♣ is a good raise, 2♦ is (barely) OK at these colors.

Clear 3♦ call now.

Partner seems to have short term memory disorder and forgotten we weren't strong enough to respond to an opening bid.

Edit due to below post: Yeah what the heck was 2♣ lol. If only there were a way to show a great hand with the other suits here.
