You deal at pairs, game all, playing an Acol-style system.

Thanks for your answer! I will let you have a 'part 2' to this question in another 48 hours or so!

OK - here is part two of the bridge puzzle (as far as I am concerned, you got part one right!)

What are the choices here & which would you plump for?-

I'm playing pairs so I think my choices are 3NT.
We don't have a spade fit and I have stops in the other 2 suits. 5D is unlikely to be better and I don't see anyway to investiage 6D without potentially losing a bundle of MP's.
Looking at both hands I'm guessing that 6D makes and was probably bid somewhere although it doesn't look a great contract to me (I'm not clever enough to work out the odds but I would guess they're well under 50%). -

3D.
I'm fairly big but a quarter of my points are in the doubletons and I've no idea if we have even a partial spade fit. Also, 2D could be short if I'm playing a stupid system.
If partner bids 3H I'll plump for 3NT. If he bids 3S I'll bid 4S. If he bids 3NT I'll Pass. If he bids 4D I'll tank and probably Pass.
