All Vulnerable you get this hand:
Scoring: MP


And your RHO opens the bidding with 2♦ (Multi, either a weak 2 in a Major or 22+ balanced). You Pass, LHO bids 2♥ (pass or correct), your partner passes and RHO bids 2♠, showing a weak 2 Spades opening type of hand. And you?

2♦ Pass 2♥ Pass
2♠ ???

Another question: let's say you double and your RHO bids 4♠ and partner passes again, would you double again then?

Double the 2♠. LHO is limited in heart length, as is opener (probably), so if partner has hearts you are happy. If he has a minor then that's OK too.

After LHO bids 4♠ then pass. LHO may have a powerhouse and if partner did not bid you have nothing further to say.

X for t/o, pass 4S.

You are min for the t/o, why bid again?

Wrong. After:

2♦ Pass 2♥ Pass
2♠ X Pass 3♥
Pass 4♥ 4♠ Pass
Pass ???

Do you double then? Would you even have said 4♥?

Hi,

assuming, Lebensohl has been agreed, raising 3H to 4H
is certainly an option, at least playing IMP, playing MP,
... well I think it is closer.

Having bid 4H, I would pass, partner did hear the bidding,
he could have made an penalty double.

Confused.

I pass the first time. Easy.

I double the second time, easy.

Third time confusing. Does 4♠ pop in after an initial pass of my double? That's really weird.

1) Pass 2D, X 2S for T/O and if LHO pops 4S i pass that.

2) Pass 2D, X 2S for T/O, when partner bids 3H I raise to 4H, then if LHO bids 4S I pass now.
