Scoring: IMP

1♣-1♥-1♠-2♥
3♦-P-3♠-P
?


1♠ showed 5 cards , so double by opener would show "takeout with less than 3 ♠"

1. Do you think the 3♦ bid already showed 6-5 ?
(I think you would double with 5-4 minors, what about 6-4?)
2. What's your choice now : 4♦? 4♠? anything else?

I think double of 2♥ should suggest two spades, so 3♦ might be a strong 1246. However, 5-6 is quite likely.

I'd bid 4♠ now. In context, my spades are very good and my minors quite poor, so I wouldn't continue to look for another trump suit.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Agree with gnasher. 3♦ can definitely still be a nice pure 4-6.
