SIRS BOARD 18,,South holds S Q-H AK92 -D QJ1065-C AQ3 RHO opens 2 diamonds (weak in a major or 19-20 Balanced). Q1) if you chose to PASS it goes P-2H(PASS OR CORRECT)-PASS-PASS-? Q2) If you chose to double and it goes (i) x--2H -Pass-2S--? (ii) x-2H-2S-Pass-? (iii)x-2H-3S-Pass-? and (iv) x-Pass-3S-Pass-?. CLARIFICATION.-The opponents are known experts.You have no special agreements.LHO"S Pass or 2H have their normal meanings.You are Vul vs.Non vul. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

You'd have to specify a defense. Some defense have an immediate takeout dbl of spades (typically 1 of dbl, 2H, 2S?) which you would presumably employ 1st round. In others you are expected to pass anticipating to takeout dbl of spades, but when they show hearts allegedly instead probably 2nt shows this sort of off-shape thing from failure to bid 2nt the first time.

Playing bread and butter defense (i.e. x=13-16 bal or most monster hands), I start with double.
- if partner makes a free 2 bid I bid 2NT which should show abut 20 points and is forcing
- if opps stop in hearts I bid 2NT, which shows 20-22 bal and is nonforcing.
- if opps bid spades I double again, which shows about this hand.
The world would be such a happy place, if only everyone played Acol :) --- TramTicket

Thanks to you too, but I think that as an experienced contributor you should prepare a hand diagram.
I understood this:



Our defence to Multicolor treats the first bid bid as if we knew the opponents had spades, so we have a clear Double here.

SIRS,on the table it went 2D-PASS-2H(PASS OR CORRECT)-PASS-PASS-?.Now it is known that EAST'S 2D was a weak 2 in hearts. What action should South take now ? Is it Pass quietly or bid 2NT for minors.?

Could they be taking advantage of the vulnerability and have S?
