Are your opponents so weak that you give them a one card handicap? I think your only proper 'bid' is to declare a misdeal. The director is gonna be awful sore with you, otherwise. Piotr

Five Diamonds. Against strong opposition, I would probably bid six. If somehow they find their heart fit, I'll compete to the six level and double it if West is the declarer, and double any seven level contract if I'm on lead. - Steve Stein

Assuming the missing card is not critical, I would bid 3N. If it gets passed out, we're OK. If they whack it, I run to 4D. It is unlikely that they would find their H fit and they will probably stop at 5C, which is OK w/me. Weak pairs probably won't bid 6C; 6H does not make on a C lead. Details depend on what a weak 2D means.

Excuse me (he said meekly), but why is this conversation cross-posted to
comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with IBM PC
bridge-bidding programs or such ?
