double

(FWIW I think this double is re-takeout without 4 hearts even though that would violate gwnn's law.)

4♥, wtp? Partner is long in hearts because LHO has spades and RHO is short in hearts, so if he couldn't jump I'm not looking for anything more at this point.

The balancing double seems to have worked out well enough, but I would have balanced with 3NT.

EDIT:

Sorry. This is what happens when you try to take a quick look in at the Forums during work. I saw that 2♦ was for the majors and didn't even notice that we were passed out in 2♦.

Very silly.

agree with 4♥ RHO rates to have at least 6♦ and 3♠ so maybe we can jack them up to 4♠
