How do you play redouble here?
What would you bid with said hand?

We use redouble for a high spade honor for lead purposes, but I am sure there are better uses which will be explained by others.
This hand is easy for us; raise to 2S, same as if pard had opened, but more comfortable with the opening diamond bid on the left.

I often play transfers in this auction in which case I would show a constructive raise. Not playing that I would bid 2D showing a limit raise, my diamond holding is pretty meh but I think it's too big of a downgrade to just bid 1S. Perhaps 1N natural would be a reasonable compromise if I played that.

I like to use XX to show a doubleton honor in spades and a desire to compete - sort of halfway between support and rosenkranz - but know that requiring the honor is uncommon.

We do overcall on chunky 4-card suits with a reason (often ♦ length here) so I can easily land on my head.
What is baby oil made of?

- good to be remembered that this xfer is also valid after the DBL.
- We play 1NT natural, but I would go for 2H -good raise.
BTW: I don't think 2H with the transfers is really different then 2D if you don't play transfer.

This is close between 2D and 2S. The sterile distribution however outs me in the 2S camp.
1NT is natural
