P P 1H 1S; X 2S X ?
both oppo Xs are t.o. the first is a straightforward -ve double, the second is more of an action double of some kind and should show a better than normal opening hand.

I chose 3S here. I was doubled and went 2 off with a further loss of a few IMPs.
I don't think this is at all an easy hand and might well do the same again given the same cards again. Harry was very light for his 2S bid. -
Pass. For 3 reasons:-
1. Law of Total Tricks - there's nothing to suggest that we have a 9 card fit (if we do I expect pd to compete further) and bidding 3 over 3 only right if one side has a 9 card fit.
2. I'd be delighted to defend 3H (dream on!)
3. The fact that opener has extras and pd could be very weak for his single raise leads me to think 3S could be whacked and go for 300.
