Played with a someone for the 1st time (or maybe 2nd) in the local afternoon club game. Due to poor weather and the holidays it was a pretty small turnout. System played was a fairly typical intermediate level 2/1. Had a decent session, about 49%. Just out of the points in strat B.
Recaps
Here's a bidding problem from the game:
MP pairs, White vs Red, you pick up in 2nd seat:
ATxx
xx
T9x
Qxxx
RHO deals and passes, you pass, LHO opens 1c, partner makes a takeout double. I bid 1s, LHO bids 2c, and partner bids 2d, showing a good suit and a big hand. I decide to make a bit of a courtesy raise to 3d, and partner goes to 5. Off 1 when partner doesn't find the Ah singleton offside.
Do you think my hand was worth a 3d raise?

looks like a raise to me .
was 3NT viable ?
nope. Partner had a spade void. It doesn't play well.
Err, CLUB void
Your hand is worth of raise. One simple way to evaluate is to use principle of box. Your first call is 1S and promised 0-7 Hp. So now after partner bids another suit where are you in thse 0-7 - you are almost max. I beleive this is Mr. Lawrence advice.
Yes. Automatic raise - very strong hand on the auction. Failing to bid 3D or take some other serious action would be error.
