Okay here goes. Partner's hand is:

x
AQx
AKTx
QJTxx

3 is a violation of Burn's Rule and will be doubled by LHO, he has K9xxx. Hearts are 5-0 but that does not matter much because you can crossruff, elope and whatever.

Or you can go down in 2 or 2 undoubled. Or in 2NT or higher doubled.
3 would be 530 but do you dare?

Change partner, he played for opps. Was this game for money? :P
With missfit in your suit and lot of HCP and poor own distribution to bid 2 your p can have several reasons to not dbl :o :
1. He/she hate you
2. One of opps was female/male dream of your p.
3. He/she thought about tax-collector.
4. He/she had new narrow shoes.
5. He/she just finish his supper and most of blood serve to his stomach, instead of head.

2 NT, getting out in 3. Misfitting hand.

Now 2 NT is X and passed by pd, I will pass. But I will be confussed somewhat. Pd is now suggesting a somehwhat balanced hand. How come he didn't X the 1 NT bid ?

Some people play here that double means 3 support, and some aren´t sure of what it would mean.

Why didn't partner double 1NT with that hand?

My choice was 2 - 4th suit forcing, not because I have 5 of them. Partner should bid 2NT over it and I start to get suspicious, but I'm not sure if I can bid a natural 3 now.
