Thanks for the responses.
This deal was from the local Monday club game in town. The entire field was in 2 or 3H except silly me in 2D.
I rebid 2D without a care in the world and afterwords wondered what the heck..
Somewhere I got the thought in my head that 2D, often, not always, but often enough, inferred possible extras and partner would make some courtesy rebid if at all possible. With a minimum I would strain to rebid 2s on 3 or rebid 2H or 1NT.
In this specific case partner would rebid 3D, which I would then rebid 4H. I later mentioned it to my first-time pick-up partner and a few others and they all looked at me as some space alien. Sometimes I wonder how these ideas pop into my skull. smile.
Again, thanks for taking the time to respond to my post.
