Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

Takeout. 2♥, I think there is too much potential wastage in their suits to bid more.

Tim has this exactly right. Partner has a takeout double with diamond shortness.

Clearly takeout. I'll make a mild underbid of 2♥.

2♥, and it is no underbid. Partner is in the live-seat.
Against competent opposition, in a strong homogeneous field, I wouldn't even consider 3♥, if they press with 3♦.

We should always assume 2/1 unless otherwise stated, because:
- If the original poster didn't bother to state his system, that means that he thinks it's obvious what he's playing. The only people who think this are 2/1 players.

The X of 2♦ by partner is his way of saying I can't stand to pass but should be a TOX of ♦ so I bid 2♥
