Scoring: IMP

1H-2D-2H-2S
3H-?

Playing IMP pairs with a presumably competent, but unknown partner. Opponents are similarly unknown. RHO deals and opens 1 Heart. You overcall 2 Diamonds. LHO raises to 2 Hearts. Partner, not a passed hand, bids 2 Spades. Opener contests with 3 Hearts. Now what?

3 Spades is an option that was left off the menu. If you select that, check Other.

Slightly surprised 3S isn't an option, because it's certainly worthy of consideration.

I will double and listen.

Classic "do the right thing" double.

If double is takeout showing 2=1=6=4, I'm ready for a dirt nap.

I gotta bid something, I have a very nice hand. I will make a do-something-sensible dbl.

I would make an ambiguous whatever-double. Passing cannot be right, and any bid seems too unilateral and doesn't describe my hand well.

If you pass, I doubt if there will be much to listen to. I'd double for takeout. That is also what I would do with a 2164.

If partner bids 4♣, I'll convert it to 4♦, because with a moderate 5xx5 he would have doubled 2♥.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn
