Bidding is like this

 

Pd RHO You LHO

1H (1S) 2C Pass

2H (3D) ?

 

1) What is your bid?

2) Do you think its close between double and pass?

3) Would double be penalty or cards showing?

I would pass now, our hand has become a little worse since we last bid (and we have almost a minimum hand for our 2), also it sounds like we have a misfit. I don't think it is very close, but could probably be argued into that it is.

 

The last question is more unclear for me, but I think I would have taken it as card showing.

I'd hit it, not only because I expect to beat it, but because even if I'm wrong about that, I don't expect -110 to be worth a lot of matchpoints. Bigger difference between 100 and 200 than between -110 and -670.

Well, I agree with the posters that this is favorite to go down.

 

This hand was given to me by friend, and I dont have the full hand. However,

3D was unbeatable, and partner found a bad moment to open light. You can probably see that declarer will get good breaks in his key suits ( like spades 3-3 and Diamonds something like 3-2 or 3-1, and it looking like that only one of the clubs is cashing ( Declarer is probably 5-2-5-1)

 

This was partners hand
