Opening Lead: ♣J

This is a good example of the 2 bid.  S has 23 HCP and a good 5 card suit.  S opens 2 and N bids 2♦ (waiting).  S bids 2 showing the suit.  N bids 3♦ (not what S wants to hear).  S shows the 4 card suit by bidding 3.  N goes right to 4, as a sign off.  If N had a better hand and wanted to show spade support N would bid THREE spades.  The 4 bid is a sign off.  N/S have agreed that a 2 opening bid is forcing to game.  Fast arrival at the game shows NO SLAM INTEREST.  Even with the 23 pts S will have a difficult time making 4.  I hate this game!
