ok so what do would you take 2s as here?

for me this..

otoh perhaps 2s is much much more but less than 3c over 1h?

again I assume 2c limited my hand ..yes?

fwiw granted I open on pure crap so that may matter.

For one thing I think it should show a much better diamond suit. After all we know we're likely in a 5-2 fit.

I think a hand like that shd bid 3♦, not 2. THAT is a huge hand after 1♦ 2♣.

In that case change ♣Axx to ♣JTx or switch it to 1552.

over 2♦ it's a clear pass... if pard decides to bean-count on hands like x xxxx Kxxxx Axx.. well, that's life.

Opposite ♠x ♥xxxx ♦Kxxxx ♣Axx it is huge; opposite a more mundane hand with wastage in hearts not so much. The fact that the hand has been posted by Fluffy suggests that partner's hand might be along these lines.

Was just wondering, because I didn't think either action 2♣ or pass was clear, the hand doesn't matter at all, I made +190 in 2♦, but partner's 9 count is closer to a slam try than to a preference. (♠Kx ♥Kxxx ♦Kxxxx ♣xx)

[whereagles]

Indeed, that's worth 3♦.

Do you think so? ♠K looks like a wasted card and a small doubleton in you second suit is not great either.
