Matchpoints.
Maybe South should have made an invitation to game after RHO bid 3? - If so, North would definitely have accepted.
So please feel free to make your suggestions to best Declarer play in 3 as well as in 4. (OBS: MP).
Lead Q ("highest in partner's")!

Thanks from Niels

The hand is very good in support of spades. Just pop up the 2NT relay.

I would have made the 2NT relay in IMPs particularly after partner's 2nd hand red vs white - in MP I am not so sure (I have a few scars already from partner's 2 knife, and from my own joggling with chainsaws when being declarer).
So how do you play 4 (and/or 3)?

I understand what you mean. 2/ for the majors is probably one the most abused conventions out there.

As to the play, take on dummy, ruff a diamond and take it from there, regardless of being 3/4.

Yeah, what's the range for 2? Opposite a normal vulnerable flanney opening South has a 4 call.

Sorry all, if stating the bidding confused my (sole) aim of this post. Including the bidding wasn't meant for discussing the 2 opening and how to respond, but simply how to make the best declarer play in 3/4. Anyone (else) who want to explain their choice of setting up a particular red suit?

There's really not much into it. The position is very symmetric, so I just try and setup the stronger suit, diamonds.
