What to Respond

Playing matchpoints. You are not vulnerable and the Opponents are vulnerable.

Here is your hand:
♠73
♥A953
♦A4
♣K9653

Partner is Dealer and opens the bidding 1♣. Your RHO (Right Hand Opponent) says "Pass". What is your call?

1♥

You DO have a ♣ fit. This is true. But you MIGHT have a ♥ fit. Try to find that.

If you DO find a ♥ fit then you can investigate game.

If you DON'T find a ♥ fit then you can always tell Partner about your ♣ then.
