Am I playing a support XX here? I'll assume not. In which case I need to know if 1♠ showed 5 (would partner's double of 1♥ be penalty or responsive?). I'll assume partner's 1♠ showed 4+, not 5+, so I'll pass 2♦, as partner should be 4-5.

I'll lead my systemic diamond with no conviction.

7. Easy pass. Partner is almost always 4S 5+D. With 5S 4D I expect partner to be bidding spades again as I don't do takeout doubles with a doubleton major

8. Top spade

7. 2♠. I may have this auction a little off as I wouldn't have X and don't love my hand, but if partner has ♠ and ♦ and a void or stiff ♥ (which I think this should show), and if partner has a decent 8+ points and 5+ spades (which I think his freely offered 1♠ should show), then 2♠ sounds right.

8. Top ♠.

Clear pass, partner has 4 spades and 5-6 diamonds

Spade, not quite sure about this one.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Can we get that bidding template, please BBF? So annoying to try to decipher these sequences.

7. Pass, partner is 4-4 or 4-5
8. ♦J. With my ♠xx, dummy could easily have a good spade suit that I don't want to establish (or seen run immediately).

7. Pass, partner is 4-5.

8. Top spade, going for a ruff (might also establish a trick or two for partner).
Kind regards,
Harald
