If no one comes from the future to stop you from doing it then how bad a decision could it really be?

Easy for me. I play DAPO*.
I have 2-suits takeout: bid the suit not held.
Here 2H shows S+C.
Next 2NT/3NT to show D-stop.
Double would be 3-suiter takeout OR 1-suiter to show next.
2S: H+C. 3C: S+H. Jump: 1-suiter shown.
Without DAPO, I try 2S. Hope that denies H-interest. 3NT over 3H.

I ask East if they have any partnership understanding/experience about playing multi 2♦ or transfer pre-empts
2NT, and hope opener won't lead ♥.

You have to bid.
It is either 2S or 2NT, take your poison.
With kind regards

I've always thought that Roman Jumps are best used over a Weak-2D ... rather than any Lebensohl.
Roman ( big-2 suiter ) Jumps over weak-2D:
4C = C/H = bid suit and next higher
3H = H/S
3S = S/C
4D = 4 4 1 4
3D = stop-ask ( for 3NT )
4H/4S = to play
Just guessing what the DBL would mean:
DBL! = T/O ( weaker than 4D! ) OR long suit somewhere ( like Dake's DAPO, but I don't know the follow-ups )

Barring that I am playing some ridiculous exclusion takeout that won't ever work when I have a single suit, except on this particular hand...
It seems like a 2♠ bid leaves us with the best chance of doing well on this board. The problem is that when I am having problems in 3N with heart stoppers, I may have the same problem in 4♠, especially if it's a 4-3 fit. I'm willing to take that chance though, it seems like bidding 2N is just advertising my diamond holding, and LHO will be leading hearts very often. I would bid 2♠.

Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!

I tihnk it is pass or 2NT, pass has some appeal.
2♠ might work of course, but given that we have to lie about shape anyway that has the risk on playing in a short fit, why not make the bid that at least defines our strenght accuratelly.

2NT, I like this a lot more than any of the suggested alternatives.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.
