Agree, altho personally, I'd be okay with 3♣ instead of the cue: I think the hand is borderline in terms of an immediate cue... wouldn't partner rebid a 5 card suit here over the cue: 3=5=2=3, for example. If I have bid 3♣, 3♥ would tell me that we had a 6-2 fit... after all, I can't tell at my second call whether we belong in either red suit or notrump, and my cue might have prevented me from finding out.

What? You have no sense of humor? LOLOL

I think I'll try 6 HEARTS. We might lack entries to setup the hearts in 6♦..
Edit: huh..? were you playing NFBs or something?

Maybe the votes of this board had been a little different, if we had a vision about how weak his NFB bids could be.
I don´t mind my pd to play nfbs very weak, intermedeate or no NFBs at all, but I would like to know his style before I have to judge at slam level.
Opposite this pd I may not even had bid 2 Spade.

I gave you all the info I had. Partner was Ron Smith who is known as a very sound bidder actually. He had a double fit and 7-4 and chose to get his suit in before the jumping in spades started. A lot of people (especially of the kit woolsey school) believe in doing this.

Q1: Do you agree with 2S?

1. 3 ♣ = 10, 2 ♠ = 8.
2. P = 10, 5 ♣ = 9.
3. P (forcing) = 10, 5 N (pick a slam) = 9, 6 ♦ = 8, X = 6.
4. Such are the vicissitudes of life
