:D It's a pretty cheesy 2♥ call, but he did have a club fit, and he was a passed hand. It's a seven point HCP hand with a stiff - worth about 10 dummy points in clubs or if there is a heart fit. The hearts are five long with good texture.

I guess the negative double is better. If partner raises hearts, we should have a game. Otherwise, 3♣ is OK. At matchpoints we can't play 2 or 3♥ on the 5-3 for the better score, but this wasn't matchpoints. Getting to good games or going plus are what's important at IMPs.

Do you guys really agree with 2♥? I would have made a negative dbl.

Agree 100%, but how to tell a pickup in Indy??? :D
