Scoring: IMP

1♦-2♣-p-p
2♦-4♥-X-?


2NT by partner would have been UNT. Do you agree with your first pass? What now?
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Strongly disagree with first pass - 3♣ is clear.

Now, I don't quite know what is going on. Tempting to pass, but I bid 5♣ anyway.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Wild bids go with wild hands. Partner probably has some 7-4 or 7-5 with poorish hearts.

I've no strong feelings about the first call, but would probably raise to 3♣. Having passed, definately bidding 5♣ now.

I'm bidding 5♣ - but I expect it will get doubled as well. That is good.

I have a clear 3♣ call on the last.

Weird.

Without the double, I might have bid 6♣. In fact, I think that 6♣ might be the right call even with the double. I have a strange feeling the 4♥ was intended as an auto-splinter. Of course, that seems absurd. But, I'm having trouble reconciling the auction at all, let alone with the addition of this double.

And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."
