Pass, and I dont care, if we play MP or IMPs (the addition was done, after having
seen the result)

2NT would be for the minors / scrambling, hence this is out.
3NT is an overbid, partner did bid a 2nd time, but he is in the reopening seat,
they have a fit, he is void, I agree with the 2nd double with original hand.

If you can stand it, bid 2S, but you have 2 tricks against their heart contract,
you have no fit, partner will have a opening bid, I would expect 2H going -2 more
often than it makes.

With kind regards

"but you have 2 tricks against their heart contract,"
Uwe as you are under the 1H opener perhaps you can explain from where your two tricks are coming?

Was that meant to be 5044 or 40(54)? I would always overcall and double later with a fifth spade. I would never dream of overcalling in a minor though with the other two shapes. This seems standard to me. I might even double with 40(63) depending on texture.


meant 544 with a 5 card minor

A good lesson for a lot of us here. Before you pull the trigger, make sure the gun is pointing in the right direction.
