You are South and hold:
White vs. red, bidding w/ LHO starting proceedings:
(2♠) - X - (P):
What's your bid? Note that you haven't played against these opponents before, but LHO seems reasonable from the bidding on the past few boards.

Declarer won the A♣ and much to my surprise continued w/ a small ♠. Anyway, I continued to force declarer in ♣ and at the end of it all, we managed to set it -1 (3♠, 1♦, 1♣, 1♥).
Declarer held:

So, congratulations to all who bid 3N -- next time, I will too. Maybe in a few years we'll come around the circle when people will start playing fast and loose w/ unfavourable preempts and it will be time to pass again
