Well partner is captain and has asked me to express an opinion after 2♦. Given that I like ♥ and have a maximum then any non pass call will express that and other information. If I don't like ♥ it is my job to express it the only way I can by passing. So do you like ♥?

I have 3244 shape.
LHO has shown a one-suited hand.
Partner has hearts, but probably fewer than four spades.
RHO has real spades.
Sounds like LHO probably has hearts. Hearts probably split 5-1 or 6-0.
Spades probably split 5-2 or 6-1.
I think whoever declares will have trouble, but we might survive in a minor.
I think, however, minorsprobably split rather evenly, making our defensive prospects really good.
I don't think I need to lead a trump.
I want to double for penalty. I think we beat 2♠.

Has partner promised any values? I say he hasn't. So why don't I wait to hear what he has to say? If I had a better fit I might act, but not with only 2-card support.

This must be an MI case, I don't understand how it's a real problem.
Penalty double? Even if partner has some values, I don't see why we're beating this. Why can't they just have 5 trumps, a ruff, the ace of clubs and a red suit trick? I also don't see why lefty should have hearts instead of, say, diamonds.

pass, (strong NT) values, no fit
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Agree with Csaba.

Does partner compete with hearts and a bust hand here? (no).

do i want him to compete? I don't think I have a spectacular hand for hearts.
