Awkward, we are not strong enough to force to game so we can't show both minors. I'll bid a heavy 3D.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

I've learned that when Josh and Han agree and I don't, I am 90% at least likely to be off base.

3♦ happy that this is a strong suit and that I can bid 4♣ next if needed.

I've learned that if Josh and I agree, at least one of us has misread the problem.

3♦. I've found that when Josh and Han agree with me, it's because they've got it right this time. B)
Kind regards,

I've found that when someone likes a funny remark from Neil and Han, they just forgot to read an even funnier remark by me B)

I've found that Joshs remarks are always the funniest around, even if they are just:

I did bid 3♦ at the table, and partner passed it out with a singleton ♦ and 4♣s. Trumps broke 4-3 so I was able to take 11 tricks for +150.

Other table somehow got to 5♣+1...

One of the opps at my table (ex-junior international) commented that 4NT was worth a shot, I was wondering since I am of the opinion that my hand is too weak to force to game, especially with a passed partner.
