1. 3♣ an overbid?

2. Turns out if we let it go one round we probably get a chance to hit 2♠ for 500.


1. No. 3C typically shows shape, not extras. Just what you have. Your side's bidding was fine. It's not an exact science.

2. You can't have it all. Bidding what we have is already hard enough, let alone guess what opps might misbid :)

I don't like 3nt with a stiff in your likely source of tricks even a little bit and 3♣ should end the auction. On the weak/strong principle of using a 2-suited bid you have shown the middling one.

When there's such a magnificent disparity in the quality of the suits, I would tend to bid the strong one and treat the other as a 4-carder. Besides, always best to show a major if you have one and might not have a chance to show the other.
There is a big difference between a good decision and a good result. Let's keep our posts about good decisions rather than "gotcha" results!
