You hold this hand in 2nd seat:
The bidding has proceded as follows:
You and partner are playing 2/1. So, partner’s 2C response to your opening bid is forcing to game.
Before you decide on your call at 3rd turn:
- How well do your hands mesh?
- How many spades does partner hold?
Okay what is your call? See below for my recommendation.
Partner may well have the ace and king of clubs. That’s not helpful since you have the club suit under control. Moveover, partner may not have much help in the red suits. Also, you know from paartner’s initial response that she has three spades. Your hands don’t mesh well because of misfit in clubs. My recommendation is jump to four spades (fast arrival), indicating lack of interest in slam.
