Board 1. Why did you not bid 1D? I don't understand. Partner may have diamonds and if not may bid hearts which would be good for NT. You have 15 points and slam is possible. Why bid 1S? This hand won't stay out of game. It just seems like very bad and lazy bidding to me.

[@sashacooper9326]

You're just trying to hide information on a hand that's still a long way short of slam opposite P's likely weak NT. At IMPs there'd be a better case for it - at MPs, every bit of information you leak on the way to game is costly.

Also with 4-4 in the minors, P would have opened 1D, so you can't have a D fit without also have a club fit, so the upside of looking for one is very low.
