pass, but worth thinking of it. I'm tempted by 2[H] as it might buy the contract, buy I'm afraid I'll go overboard.

This exactly was my remark after the board with my partner. What would mean each of the following (how do you play them)? 2♥ 3♦ 3♥ Thanks

In my current partnership I would open (1♠) no matter the colors. Now, I would redouble trying to penalize 2♣ if they bid it or allow partner to penalize diamonds is he can. If it comes 2♦ - P - P back, I'll try 2♠.
