Now X is takeout, but I fear of pard's passing;
2♦ may lose a ♠ fit;
Pass is forcing, but I wonder hand can be shown properly after it.
So, what to do then?

I would bid 2 diamonds. However, I would be a little more comfortable if I knew more about the methods.While pass is forcing, what are partner's options, especially with, say, a weak 3334?

Are there inferences on his failure to do anything over the redouble?

I would double. Partner will not sit with a weak hand and without intermed. trumps against a one suiter..

[gszes]

i have MAYBE 3 defensive tricks will not be happy playing
2CX unless they are down 2 so p needs MAYBE 4 tricks
I do not like my odds failure to x now will limit my hand
which is good but may far too often result in 2c getting
passed out for a poor score. The best course seems
to be to bid

2d

At least your side has a fair chance of winning the partial
war and who knows maybe p will be able to bid 2h or 2s
game can still be reached. Enamy bidding is deigned to
disrupt smooth communications do not be overy concerned
about missing a 44 spade fit at the expense of losing the
entire hand.

2♦

Knowing the downside but having pard respond 2♥ to a double with 4-4 in the majors is too annoying to let happen. Reverse my majors and I'll double.

Over 2C, dbl is takeout, new suit shows a one-suiter hand, passing is either penalty oriented or a two-suiter hand.Thus a weak 3334 at the balancing seat will dbl.

First of all, you did not address Mike's last question at all:

Secondly, your suggestion that partner will pass over 2♣ with a two-suited hand suggests that you should perhaps look at back at the auction being asked about:

(1NT) - X - (XX) - P;
2♣ - P - P - ?

If you were simply repeating our options then you did not address any of Mike's questions as far as I can see.

Forget the hand in the OP (South) for a moment. Describe what partner's (North's) pass over the redouble meant and what partner can do in the above auction (were we (South) to pass 2♣).

[yunling]

Sorry for causing confusion here.

There is not much information in north's pass over rdbl, which just denies a very distributional hand.(So he cannot have a 6 carder)

If it goes 2C P P, north's option would be
dbl:2+♣
2♦:takeout
2♥/♠:some two-suiter
