Watching the golden bear team match last night, I saw this hand.

What's your preferred rebid?

2♣. I'm a bit stronger, but just one ♥ (I know it's ace). We may need space to find the right contract. and this hand is not really calling for 3♣.

1♠. Like it better than 2♣. This hand is not worth a jump shift in my book, and I am reluctant to rebid 2NT with a singleton. In order of priority:

1. 1♠
2. 2NT
3. 2♣
4. 3♣

Exactly my view.

2C, I don't see any problem. I don't understand why I would want to distort my hand by bidding a 3 card suit or 2N on a stiff when I have a perfectly good natural bid available.

What Justin said. I'm not sure whether the alternative is meant to be 2NT or 3♣, but either way it isn't close

Well the player at the table, whom I'm sure we all respect, did not choose 2♣. So I think there are alternatives.

Well 2NT (hand-hogs of the world unite) seems a likely culprit and 3C has the hcp if not the suit-worthiness (get those black honors into the proper suit and it would) but could 3D be some kind of a dark horse candidate?

Here are my bids in order of preference:

2C
2NT
1S

Notice that 3C is not in my list.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

And I am sure that it feels left out.

2♣. 2NT is a distant second. There is no other contender.

============
2C also my choice, but it does not force at all, much less to game, in any system I've played.

2C
Unless I was playing with someone who didn't understand bidding, didn't want to learn and didn't like playing the contract in which case 2NT.

As an aside, what would you need in the club suit to change your bid from what seems to be the clearcut 2♣ bid?

(Hand repeated for convenience)

♠KQx
♥A
♦AKQxx
♣Hxxx

Suppose H was J, Q, K, or A.

At what point would it become a 2♣ opener? Noting that this hand will be difficult to describe after opening 2♣.

1♦: with ♣Qxxx or ♣Jxxx
2♣: with ♣Axxx
the ♣Kxxx is somewhat between (depends on x's)

With ♣Qxxx and better i would say 3♣ rebid. With ♣Jxxx I would again look at x's.

Generally: I open 2♣ with 3 loosing tricks or less, unless 2-suiter (I don't take this one as two-suiter, it's in fact three suiter). No reason to suprise partner with more points then I useally have.

I would jumpshift with the club Q, K, or A. I would not open 2C with any of those.

I would rebid 2C with Jxxx.
