- Cutting Communications
- Nobody loves fit bids more than yours truly. My first inclination was to bid 4 clubs. But the twin down sides dissuade me. As Kit pointed out, you take away a 4 diamond call from them via a 4 ♥ bid. Also, pard is not going to make optimal use ...
- how do you play this hand

- Henry, you are right. had a brain cramp -- was thinking about the auctions where the first bid was 2NT (not opener bidding 2c then 2NT) then my suggested treatment is worthwhile - especially if 3 spades is minor suit stayman over 2NT and opener bids 3NT.
