1. You have a decent hand but no clear direction. I think you're at a 4.5 rebid. So I'm going to push on to game then. 5.

 

2. 2NT, if you have Ogust or some shortness ask available. You want to make sure that it's not a 4M-1 hand.

 

3. Double, takeout, good hand, can do anything pard wants, including pass on 4 trumps or more.

1) I would double fast. Partner bid 2S freely so will have a little something (ok KQ seventh and out is possible, too bad), LHO has nothing since they passed over 1D, they are vul, etc. May be different if I knew RHO to be a very good player.

 

2) "no other discussion" is a problem, I guess I would assume the (imo) silly style where this shows less than a response at the 1 level and pass.

 

3) I am stubborn, I'll double again :) We don't need any high cards, just some fit, and if we have no fit partner is going to pass and I'll just pray heh.

1. I doubled which I thought was a little weird at the time. We nicked it, but RHO's clubs weren't as strong as you might have thought.

 

2. This was pard's hand. He raised to 3. Imperfect defense let me make 4 (I'm a 7222 with both black jacks).

 

3. I decided to bid 3 which is pretty sick I know. Pard pulled to 4 and I bid a really, really sick 5. RHO got into the spirit and made a tentative double. LHO leads the A and RHO plays low so it looks like hearts are 7-3.

 

Plan the play:
