Very good, Ben! :unsure: Since 2♦ cannot be natural it must be offering both major contracts, presumibly a 4♠3♥ pattern; responder to choose. With 3334 I think it is much better to pass (or bid a simple 2♥, depending of honor location). Playing this way partner has a full control of hand and can very accurately judge the best contract. I think 2♦ is a clear-cut bid with our hand!

I don't understand these 4NT bids. Partner opened 1♣, not 1♦. The "pick a minor" bid works better if you have some 1453 hand or similar. With 1444 it is clear that we shall play in clubs.

MP. All love. ♠x ♥108xx ♦A109x ♣KJxx pass - pass - 1♣ - 2♥ pass - 3♥ - Dbl* - pass ??? * Negative Do you agree with the 1st pass? What will you bid?

South 110% I cannot understand for what should north be blamed? He bid diamonds and spades and he has 6♦ and 4♠ in a good hand. His partner could hold some 4414 or similar weakish hand (6-7 hcp) when it is always nice to overbid them if they reach 2♥. Really strange question for an "Advanced+ bridge" subforum. Except if north is known as bluffer and south thought his partner was faking the 1♦ overcall. He he...

1) Pass (almost a double) 2) Double 3) Pass 4) Pass 5) Pass 6) Pass All the actions are pretty clear and understandable.
