It would be interesting to know some useful facts:
- what is your defense to strong ♣, so we can figure out what the Dbl is and isn't?
- also the approach might be interesting: does partner bid destructive after a negative, does he bid constructively,...
- is 1♠ forcing or not? Does it show 4+♠ or 5+♠?

If partner had doubled a 1♠ opening, we'd have competed to 3♥. He has shown at least as good a hand as that, so we should still compete to 3♥.
... 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

Obviously, it all depends on your philosophy in defending against a strong club. But in my partnerships, the whole deal should look something like:
If partner would have been weaker, he would have shown some twosuiter immediately after 1♣ (4-4 is ok at this vulnerability) and yes, partner could be 13(45).
I think that I would have bid 3♥ in the previous round. That would have involved partner in the decision. I need to guess now and I will guess 4♥.

I want my opponents to leave my table with a smile on their face and without matchpoints on their score card - in that order.

-We dont have fancy defense vs strong 1♣, DBL = majors NT= minors rest natural. This delayed double is take out for ♠ suit but no details were discussed.
-As i said no detail were discussed, this is not a pick up pdship but it is only a BBO pdship. So common sense is your only tool.
-1♠ explained as 5+♠ 16-21 (pretty std precision bid)

3♥ looks like we might well make it. Pard should have about 10-12 HCP and a stiff spade.

Doesn't partner take immediate action
with a middling shapely hand?
He didn't. He's really competing.
3H not 2H last round.
Surely 3H now, I'm not bust.

In that case I guess I have to bid 3♥.

I was the one who doubled 1♠, my pd sold out to 2♠ and we erred in defense making +1
Trinidad was impressively close, but i was a bit lighter than he predicted.
I held

4♥ was still cold.

I dont see the benefit of the 2h bid this hand look a lot closer to a 3h bid
especially since playing the hand will be almost double dummy. After I bid 3h
P will be in much better shape to know when to compete. If lho had opened
1s I would have bid 3h and I do not see any reason to bid less just because
LHO has shown at least a K more than most standard 1s openers:)
Given the bidding I have to compete to 3h but my p will not be able to raise
with their good hand because of my underbid initially.

Just out of curiosity, since it hasnt been the topic of much discussion yet... are y'all happy with our pass over 1D on the previous round?

If I could have shown both majors, I'd have done that.

DBL of 1♦ and NT over 1♦ works just like over 1♣
So yes he had a way to show majors.

Mr Ace asks "Teamgame. 1♣* =precision 16+. 1♦= negative. What would you do ?"
Guess: 3♥ = 10, Double = 9, 2N = 7, Pass = 6. 4♥ = 2.
