Welcome to the forum. Please show us the hand you held (do your best to remember all 13 cards) and specify whether the 2D bid was a weak 2.

without seeing the hand I would guess that X is the most likely correct action altho some slam or near slam bids could be right as well

I don't remember the rest of cards, but good. The 2D bid was a weak bid. Since I didn't know what to do, I bid 3C. My partner passed.

Hey, welcome!

If you held a semi-balanced hand with a trick source - Kx Ax AQx AKQxxx you could shoot out 3N. I would also trade a high card for a 7th club.

If I had a lot of diamonds and the opponents were vulnerable, I might pass too - AK Kx KQTxx AKxx

Otherwise double is surely indicated.

the problem with 3♣ is that you might bid


the same and this is too wide a variation
