NV vs V at MPs you hold:

♠ Axx
♥ QJxxx
♦ xxx
♣ xx

(1NT) - 2♠ - (3NT) - ?

1NT was 15-17
2♠ was ♠ + minor
3NT denied a ♠ stopper

Double it?

I'm fairly sure I would not double any amount of notrump until 7. I understand you don't want partner to lead his minor, but he might get it right anyway so I'll just hope.

No I wouldn't, especially at MPs.

I have no reason to think pard won't lead a spade, and this looks like the field contract.

I didn't either, but partner chose to "Sac" over 3NT with KJ9xx xx x QJTxx. The 1NT bidder had Qxx♠, so 3NT is an easy set.

Instead of a Prevention Double to stop partner saccing, I think this calls for a partner sacking to prevent this sort of thing from happening again.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Not that easy of a set, I confess to being a club leader. D'oh.

When you double opps won't claim, they will try for an overtrick.
