Help
Had a hand similar to this on Monday...
2D multi is bid from my right, I hold off and pass a 16 HCP strong distribution hand. 2D reply comes and my partner doubles...
I hold AQJT9x of H and jump to 4H which shows my partner slam interest...I also held the KQx of S. I assumed the suit was spades for them. We missed out on a textbook 7S and played 6NT-1.
Rethinking my bidding...I may simply jump to 3H and see what partner has to say...but I was shocked to see the multi bidder having such poor H honors.
6-5 monster opps multi

Well, since 32519 has posted the entire hand, how many of the passers are balancing with the West hand? What about the same hand without the ♠Q?
I think there are some similarities with LHO opening 2♥ and it being passed round to us, where I wouldn't like to sell out to 2♥ w/w, so I'd reopen. Replace ♠Q with a smaller ♠ and I'd pass. If West does pass, we get a (very) bad result due to a misguess from East which the massively vast majority of the time would have been correct. Shrug, sometimes that happens.

Edit sorry i'm tired, removed rubbish post!
I wouldn't balance with west's hand which is why East has to act now. If no leaping michaels I'd have to bid 3♣ and hope to get ♥ in later.

Oh. I agreed with your deleted post
. But leaping Michaels seems to be the answer to this hand 
If you bid 3♣ how will you feel when that gets passed out - which I imagine would happen a lot more often than it being passed out if you pass?

My preferred method is that one of 4♣ and 3♥ followed by pulling 3♠/N to 4♣ is ♣/♠, the other is ♣/♥.
