A. 3H Pd can have 5 and i have made a lot of Xs with only 2 Cs to receive "wishy foolish" C bids
B. tilting towards 3NT as opposed to 4H. When non vul vs vul they preempt on nothing and six carders
C. 5H Pd: if you have good Hs bid 6
D. why Pd did not X previously? i do not see good HCP bec he has probably 3 Ss and he did not X. Only way to good HCP is he has 5 Hs, not very likely. My hand seems suited for defense so i Pass
E. 3NT what else ?
F. BWS does not allow me to X for penalties so: 3NT
G. D 10. 4D seems a phony bid to me. Both opps bidding cautiously and suddenly 4D ?

A. a3 i never expect perfect hands for a bid. And i prefer a slight overbid than a gross underbid. The imperfection of the reverse worries me less than opening 1H hearing 1S and biding 2D which misleads the count of the suits AND the strength of the hand
B. 4D if pd cues then slam else 5C. Pretty simple
C. 2NT non-problem using Lebensohl
D. Pass matchpoints agree 100% with Jim
E. Pass the 3 spades prevent me for bidding unusual
F. Pass 3NT hast the substantial risk of a S entry to the Hs and a minor game not clear so i refrain from bidding 4H
G. 1NT almost unanimously and i do not have the problem of the next round of bidding
H. D 4 i am with Blu

Problem F. if the fit jump is played with 10 cards only, better assign a different meaning to the bid bec it will arise few times in a lifetime

A. 2NT the only good invitation and Q10 is good for receiving a H lead.... except when it is bad
B. 4C my computer program never supports the minor in this sequence and i am tired of losing slams
C. 5C i do not think slam is on with this sequence so no waste of time
D. 3D only out of respect for TBW i say almost non problem
E. 3H i can remember Blubayou`s comment in a past hand that p may have Ax in Cs
F. 3C i do not know if BWS plays it but i bid 3C, Cs with support for H
G. X i am a follower of Meckstroth: with good shape bid a lot, with poor stay out
H. S 2 maybe the S K is in dummy or in pd
