Help
2 of the last 3 times i ran in this situation rho had doubled 3n fairly speculatively with 4 chunky spades and i went many more off in 4M than in 3N. The thrid time running was right, though only one trick better.
I think the point is that good players will not double 3n that they think is going off unless they are sure that your most likely spot to run to is also going off.

I may Dbl here and then pass parner's bid if he is minimum.
If the bidding is:
{3♣} pass {3♥} ?
What do you bid now?
