Scoring: IMP

P - (P) - 1♦* - (1♠)
1NT - (2♦)** - P/Dbl - (2♠)
P - (P) - ?

*5+♦ unless 4=4=4=1 precisely
**Good Raise in ♠ (roughly 9-11 by PH)

Your answer now may depend on whether you passed or doubled (or did something else) at your second turn, so feel free to answer in both cases.

How now?

Does 1NT promise a stopper? In that case I would try 2NT.

I doubled 2♦, showing a takeout double of 2♠. Having done that, I pass.

Having passed over 2♦, I'd have another go, with 3♣, because double sounds like a penalty double.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Did my double over 2D show a shapely opener asking a bid? Partner says none of that. What extra do I have? NOTHING. Keep whipping a dead horse? Nope.

Pass first, and then do something now, makes no sense.

Double first makes sense.

Having doubled, I pass.
