These are the experts answers:

Double. The Pass it»s too defeatist. The 2NT is classic (6/4 minors), but I chose double, because once in ten I»ll find my partner with 5 spades and 4 hearts and is better that they play 2 doubled, and all the other times I will compete at the 3 level nbso online casino reviews in a minor. But I do not criticize the two first options (pass and 2NT). 2NT would rather be : x xx AQJx KQJ10xx. 6/4.With playing strength and few defense. |

|
2NT. I think it can / should be interpreted as a hand with clubs and four diamonds. There is a serious risk of misfit and we could have some problems, but the hand is beautiful and deserves a second voice. |
|
|
|
2NT. A nice hand 6-4 (I am in the limit to say 3 – if I had the J instead of the heart jack (?) – but we are vulnerable and must be enough ! partner should not err at all and I hope he will not be timid if he has a diamond fit. Over a probable 4 or 4 answer I dont know what I will say (si pass or double, probably double). |
|
|
|
2NT, shows 6 and 4. |
|
|
|
2NT, shows exactly this distribution | |
|
|
Pass: My partner nust be weak, with al least 4 spades and 4 hearts | |
|
|
Double … I cant find another bid, to pass would be too submissive. |
