mp nobody vul it goes

2♣-p-p-2♦
p-2♠-p-?

How would you describe partner's 2♠ bid?
What do you do?

Sorry I forgot to mention 2♣ was precision. 11-15
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

2C was?

Assuming 2C was not a strong bid, than 2S showes
a hand short below a 2S overcall, i.e. 8/9HCP and 5
spades, it should also deny 3 diamonds.

I pass, the alternative being something like 2NT.

With kind regards

I agree with most of the comments, in terms of meaning, but I would allow partner a little more by way of high cards than earlier posters. A 2♠ overcall of a precision 2♣ opening should show close to opening values.

I think this is a clear 2N. RHO didn't raise... it's not at all impossible for partner to hold, for example, Qxx in clubs and another 8 points or so... we'll be playing almost double dummy fairly quickly.

And it's not as if playing 2♠ on a club lead is a great mp spot if he lacks a club card
