Are you being robbed?

If you're being robbed, I think it's your methods doing the robbing. In order to miss a spade fit here, you need that: (1) you're not playing any conventional method like top and bottom cues or roman jumps or raptor to show spades and clubs (2) partner doesn't normally double in this sequence over 2 to show four spades (or your double shows something else).

 

In any case, if your methods potentially fix you I'd stay fixed. Bidding over this with a relatively balanced hand including minimum values for the overcall could easily be stepping into a minefield. There's no reason partner has to hold four spades.

I'm dead minimum regarding playing strenght for my vulnerable overcall and partner made a simple raise, which doesn't promise much. He'd have doubled 2 with 4c and a hand worth competing. So there's no need for me to even think of any further bidding.
