You're in an individuals tournament, and you have no idea how your partner bids beyond SAYC. Now what?

 

Here's the full hand:

I am not really happy with the auction that ensued:

 

But they ended down 2. Which I was fairly certain would happen. I ALMOST doubled. :(

For a start, I would pass 1. I would be very happy if ops play there, (and even more happy if p finds a balancing double passed around) since I will surely write +300 at least. I can bid naturally in the next round to show my hand.

 

If you double, what do you plan to do if partner bids 2?. 3 would be artificial and bidding NT surely doesnt imply being void in partner's suit. Or if partner doubles their contracts, because you need to have at least 3 small s for my takeout double?

If you double, what do you plan to do if partner bids 2?

Then I'd raise to 4. But I assume you were thinking of if P bids some number of s :P. I too would pass for now.
