You should, perhaps, have acted the round before (with 2♣). Now dbl. There must be a major fit somewhere.

Hi,

sure, although I am not sure,
if I bid 2S or make a t/o X,
most likely I would go with 2S.

With kind regards

Dbl ofcourse. If p bids 2♦, I'll bid 2♥. At least I get 2 suits in.

I'll balance. The opponents have at least 8 clubs and probably 9. RHO doesn't have a 4 card major, and LHO can't have TWO. Pard didn't overcall 1♦ even though he's marked with some values.

When you know that its pretty easy isn't it? ;)

I should add my dbl is probably one of the most revolting bids I ever made :)

No offense intended, Whereagles, but I think you have made much more revolting calls than this double :)

Yes balance. I'd probably just bid 2♠.
