I will continue to think inside the box and pass again. I don't know they will make very often here but this auction sounds fishy and who knows who has what. I'm not doubling white at imps a 7-8 card fit when trumps split, I've already decided previously that we don't have game.

 

 

wtf partner has a game force if we bid 2 but he has nothing if we pass?!

Pass over 2 at this vul (would consider bidding if vulnerable) nless partner is an al roth's disciple. Over 2 choice is between a chicken pass or a dangerous DBL (values implying club misfit). I think DBL is the winning long term bid unless we agreed with partner that 2 can be quite shaded.

Really easy pass of 2C at any vul.

 

What game are you guys trying to get to? 3N with seven fifth of hearts after they open 1H is a long way off, even if we have a heart stopper somehow (which is unlikely because we have at least 10 combined with LHO), we don't have a source of tricks. This could easily be a hand where we have 26 HCP and no game...and that's if partner has a near max 2C overcall.

 

Trying to get to an 11 trick game also seems ridiculous.

Well, I know you're right but what can I bid? I've already lied in a card with 2. Ain't gonna lie a second time by bidding spades with 3 only B) I guess you could say I should have passed 2 but I didn't.

 

But there's one thing going for the 2NT bid: unless LHO has AKQJT (with which he could have bid 2), it's likely there's some sort of blockage in the heart suit.

Pass again over 2. Penalty doubling would be very random.

 

But there's one thing going for the 2NT bid: unless LHO has ♥AKQJT (with which he could have bid 2♥), it's likely there's some sort of blockage in the heart suit.

The layout could be:

Partner Ax, 98, xxxx, AKQJT

North HHHH6

 

and we have 3NT making thanks to 7.

That would be fun, but actually playing for it pretty crazy. :)
