What does "no doubt and no stopper" mean? No doubt about what?

Let's see...

Opener: ♠AQxx-♥J-♦AKQJ109x-♣x
Responder: ♠Jxx-♥Qxx-♦xxx-♣KJxx

Uncontested:

2♦(4+spade, strong)-2♥(no fit)
3♦(canape)-3NT
Pass

Opener showed his hand, and the very strong playability, so he trusts partner. Hearts could go really bad, but such is life. Hopefully the highest Responder diamond pip is bigger than the lowest with Opener.

Or, Responder could bid 3♠ as a tentative diamond raise (artificial) and live with Opener's decision. 5♦ seems better.

Contested:

2♦(4+spade, strong)-P-2♥(no fit)-???

If X=hearts...

2♦(4+spade, strong)-P-2♥(no fit)-X
3♦(canape)-3♥-3♠(values, diamond fit)-P
???

Opener makes the same judgment call.

If 2♦-P-2♥-3♥, Opener likely bids 4♦, canape.
