Partner opened 1♦, I responded 1♠, partner rebid 3♦ and I passed.
Should partner have opened 2NT? Or should she have opened 1♦ and rebid 3NT?
We play weak 2's. Others playing Acol Strong 2's bid and made 3NT+3 or 5♦+1.

As opener, I rank
1. 2N = BAL 20-22. Singeton king is OK.
2. 1♦ = NAT. A bit strong.
After 1♦ - 1♠- ?, I rank
1. 2♥ = REV, Technical reverse OK because if partner has 4 ♥s, then he should have 5 ♠s.
2. 4♠ = NAT. But it might well be a 4-3 fit.
3. 2N = BAL, ~18 HCP. An underbid.
4. 3N = NAT. Good ♦s. But you might lose a ♠ fit.
5. 3♦ = INV. You could make this bid with 5 fewer HCP. Might be OK if it were forcing or promised 3 ♠s.
After 1♦ - 1♠ - 3♦ - ?, I rank
1. 3N = NAT. Guess but the most likely game. e.g. opp ♠ A x x ♥ J x x ♦ A Q J x x x ♣ .K
2. Pass = NAT. Probable plus score.
3. 5♦ = S/O but commits to 11 tricks.
4. 4♦ = F/1. Works in this hand. (And would be OK if N/F).
Added more options.
