How would you handle this?

North passed (I know not everyone's choice, but try to live with it), South opens 1♣. West psycked 1NT natural overcall, and if avaible, East will escape to 2♥.

[ArtK78]

Obviously North doubles 1NT. When 2♥ is passed back to North, he bids 2♠. South will force to game with 3♥ and North will bid 3NT.

 

If the issue is how do you get to 6♣, sorry, I can't help you there. Once North fails to open the bidding it will be hard to reach 6♣ on any auction, let alone an auction that includes a psyched 1NT by LHO.

I would probably end up in 3NT.

I feel strongly south should open 2NT (or if you insist it's too good 2♣ then 2NT, but to treat it as balanced.) The auction is so much simpler, and he avoids auctions with interference. 2NT 3♥ 3♠ 4NT 6♣, perfect.

 

I would have started with pass too, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

 

Actual auction:

 

P (P) 1♣ (1NT)

then I think should go

DBL (2♥) P (P)

2♠ 3♣

3NT ??

 

If south bids 4NT now it probably goes 5♣ by north, 6♣ by south. But he might pass 3NT instead, it's a close decision opposite a passed hand. I really think he should bid on, north doesn't even need QJ of hearts to make slam good.
