I'd pass, too little to act.

Pass also. I would like another Q at least before I bid 3S.

A pretty obvious 3♠ in my view. Opp's only bidding to the 3-level and me having a singleton ♥ strongly suggests that partner has some ♥ lenght

Therefore he most likely has a (semi)balanced hand with 19+ points. If I pass, he'll double again and then I won't know what to bid. If I bid 3♠ partner will be in an excellent position to judge correctly

I'm going to risk a 3♠ bid as well. If pard bids 3NT now, he probably won't have less than 19, so it might make.

I am trying for slam with 19 + opposite any freely bid 3 Spade bid, so I would just pass now and see what happens next.

3S. Pard probably is balanced and still doubled so I expect extras. We must strive to act.

What's a 'deludge'? Sounds like 'deluxe fudge'. Mmmm.

3♠ and I really don't think it's that close. I just don't see not fighting for this hand. I would stretch to bid 4 here so I don't even think 3 is an overbid, just a minimum. And if I knew my opponents were going to pass this, I'd sure raise my partner's 2 bid to 3 a lot more often. Another queen would be right if I was 4234 or something.

Noah went through a deluge. A deludge doesn't exist but sounds to me like something where a lot of mud is dumped on me, or maybe what Phil said.

Problem with 3S I think is that partner will expect more from free bid, ,,, and may get too high

I am suprised somewhat responsive dbl getting very few votes. I think it describes this hand , better then 3S, and you are not sure of the right strain.

I will probably choose between pass and dbl,,, pass more likely at the table. If pd doubles again, I am bidding 4s and hope for the best

To me, a responsive double would deny 4 spades. I suppose you could have a specific agreement to the contrary.

It usually won't have them, but there is nothing wrong with doubling with a game force that is, say, 4-2 in the majors, just on the slight chance partner can pass (maybe he is 4333 15, or 3244 or something), and to bid 4♠ if he doesn't. Obviously you would only do that on a hand where if he passed you would be happy.
