I do not know Acol well enough, but I'd rather bid 3 hearts then 3 spades. Other bids simply seem to be out of question.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I should have offered this too. I felt that 3H should really be a bid showing a stop asking partner to bid 3NT with a club stop. But I'll never find out now because I didn't offer it in the poll!
DeleteI think 3 hearts is primarily what you suggest: in first reading should be taken as expressing some extras and no club values. This gives partner a chance to bid 3 spades with Hx spades, 3NT with a solid club stopper (not Axx, as it is likely to be facing a singleton), 4/5D with the 5th diamond (weak/good hand), 4 clubs with a nice hand without any of these (or with 5 diamonds and two spades). On the actual hand the bidding would surely go either just 5D or 4C-4D-5D.
