A good problem with 6 possible options:-

1. Pass. I'd only consider leaving the double in if we were at favourable.

2. 2NT. I can't bid this naturally playing Lebensohl and even if I could do I don't think it's right with 4 cards in the unbid major.

3. 3H constructive playing Lebensohl (about 8-11 HCPs). This would be my choice. Possibly a slight underbid due to the useful singleton club - but on the downside, the SQ may not be pulling its weight if we declare the hand in a suit contract. If partner continues w/ 3S asking for more info. I will suggest playing in NT.

4. 3S. For what purpose?

5. 3NT. This seems too unilateral.

6. 4H. Ditto 5 above.

I don't think I've answered this one yet! Well done! 3H is the correct choice - my pd plumped for 4H (-1 on a bad trump split).
