Matchpoints, vulnerability unknown.
Pd opens 1D in first or second seat & you hold queen third, king third, and no diamonds, and seven clubs to the ace.
What's your call? What's your plan?

During the Swedish summer nationals I encountered an interesting situation in our round of 32 match against Austria.

I was opener and the bidding went 1D-P-1S-D. 1D was 11-15 and a bal hand or an unbalanced with a 4 card M.

As opener I had something like 432-AQxx-K-AJxxx. Without the D 2H by would show all distributions with four spades, 1NT would show 13-15 balanced and 2S would show 43(51/60).

MP, vuln vs not,
I dealt & opened one diamond the following hand

KJx-xxx-AQJx-Qxx

1D-(1H)-X-p ?

What to bid ? Id love to be able to play NT, but it's my pard who should bid them if he has a stopper.
2D looks wrong, 1NT looks wrong because no stopper, 1S should promise 4 spadses i guess.

So I bid 1S and pard jumped to 4S apparently playing me for 4 cd support.

Dummy was something like

Qxx

Recently I have scene some pairs playing 1c-1nt as promisin 4/5 clubs 7-10
HCP. Then 1c-1d can be with 4 diamonds.
What do you think of this treatment? Ideas? Feedback? Comments?
