Minor against minor

Thanks folks. The actual deal is not exactly what you might be expecting.

Well, it was pretty much what I was expecting. The rest of the planet obviously expected something very different. ;)

 

RHO has a tough call over 2♦. 2♥ and 2♠ are probably nonforcing, no-trump is right out, and the hand isn't strong enough for a 3♦ GF, at least not if her partner regularly overcalls on crap. I think the choices are X and 3♣, and X might have some special meaning for them, I don't know.

You expected 3♣ on three aces and four card support? vwd

 

Do you also expect west to pass 3♣ when he belongs in game opposite an ace less than you apparently think it shows?

No, I thought 10-11, not 12. But maybe their overcalls are trashier than mine.

 

I suppose there's a chance that if I pass West will pass too, but I don't give it good odds.
