1♣-(1NT)-X-(2♥*)
p-(2♠)-all pass

Scoring: IMP

So it wasn't exactly +170, it was +200 for 2♠-2. What should have went differently?

(West made a somewhat improvised 1NT on ♦AKQ-sixth and some outside King or so)

I give up. What would an X of the 2♥ transfer show, if not this hand?

You should discuss whether the pass of 2S was forcing or not. I vote for forcing.

I agree with Han that you should play pass as forcing. This may not always give the best results, but more often then not.

This hand is really ugly. I have no double of 2 Heart with JT9x, no clear bid after 2 Spade with ten HCPs and a weak 5 card suit and no bid I like after 2 Spade pass pass.

I think I had bid:

1♣-(1NT)-X-(2♥*)
p-(2♠)-pass (pass)
2 NT (pass) pass (pass)

For a much worse result then + 200 after they took their 6 diamond tricks....

But I had not been able to pass this out, nor had I doubled with a stiff nor had I repeated my "solid" clubs.
I see simply no convincing way to reach 4 Heart.

I'm with Han as well
