Playing in the Open Interstate Teams Selection stage II trials, you hold
Scoring: IMP
as dealer. You open 1♠, precision, 11-15 5+ suit. Partner responds 1NT, 5-12, forcing. Your rebid?

3♠ is plenty for me. This hand has too much missing and if pard can't act over 3, I don't think we have anything.

3S. Since we are limited, this is about what we can have. 4S is too much if partner can't act over 3S.

4♠, if it wasn't for the 2 Aces and poorly placed honours I would've opened 4♠ already

Overbidding normally pays off when two hooks work, you get a favorable lead and trumps behave nicely (yes they were 4-1, but the stiff T falling was nice).

Do you really want to be in this game? You're more likely to go down in 2 than you are to make 4.
