At first I thought RHO bid 3 clubs, in which case I would choose 3 NT.
But over 3 ♠ I double.

Double here

Too many ways to win even on a 4-3 heart fit and any losses rate to be petty cash.

Who knows? If pard has a wonderbunny 3rd seat opener, they have somewhere to go and if we end up defending we have announced cards that pard can pinpoint after trick one.

even though we are close to max for a passed hand we are probably not missing game unless p
can act over 3s. X here to show values might leave a weak partner in an untenable position and
we can all too easily be turning a small plus into a minus. If p can act over 3s then we have to act
depending on what p does. We will sometimes lose a part score but the bidding has already told p
I have some values so let's see what they come up with and be happy with a small plus if they pass

IMO Double = 10, Pass = 9, 4♦ = 6. Harder had you not already passed.

If RHO is one of those that makes heavy preempts, well, then I'm owned on this hand.

Double for me. Down how many in 3N?

(Oh wait, Timo's my pard and he floated the double. -530?)

Pd would obviously pass had we decided to pass. Only makeable game is 3NT. I doubled, pd (GIB) made unusual bid by bidding 4♥ going down 2 when 3 nt was cold
