I would X since partner has a penalty X of 3H and theyre about to go for a number.

Hi,

4D.

I may have opened diamonds, but that would only
have simplified the problem a little bit.

With kind regards
Marlowe

Ditto. If partner surprised me with a 3♠ bid, my hand is not such a bad dummy.

If partner has spades and not enough values to make a negative X that would be very surprising. I suppose it's possible partner has something like 4-4 or 5-4 in the majors and like 8 or 9 points where the opps wouldn't be bidding 4H and partner wouldn't be making a negative X but it's a hard construction to come up with. At least 90 % of the time I would bet partner is about to make a penalty pass. This is where it helps to be at the table so you can feel out your RHO.

If pard is trigger-happy, 4♦.

If pard is solid, dbl or 4♦ depening on the day.

Nothing to be ashamed of when it comes to defensive tricks here.
Clear double.
Partner will pass for penalties at least 90% of the time.
Kind regards,
Harald
