-110 was a poor score even in a bad club game.

ATB?

East: 80%

West: 0%

The universe: 20%

East should bid (at least) 3♠ over 3♦; 4♠ wouldn't be out of line.

Both sides have undisclosed double fits, so LOTT doesn't apply (without adjustments that the players cannot know are necessary); that's the universe's 20%.

At first I thought the OP was claiming that N/S had a bad score because they missed their heart fit. :)

I must admit, that I had duplicated the bidding from E/W.

I think 3♠ is clear. South won't bid 1♠ in the first place on total crap, he should have 5 spades, 4 good spades, or some good cards. The only losing case I can see is a 4=3=4=2 hand with bad spades and good diamonds (but not good enough to leave the double in.)

I thought double was correct but I suppose in MP's it's not the right approach. Then 3♠ is a must.

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.
