2♠ here should show 4 spades and a longer minor, but maybe I'm too weak for this and probably we haven't discussed this with p yet.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Partner is Mark Leonard. Mark's other partnership is with KFay. He will understand this bid - should you choose to make it.

2S, I double more aggressively than most here but I will not double with 1 trump and no tricks, partner will pass incorrectly too often imo. Sorry partner if you have the nuts.

Also 2♠ for me.

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."

Cool. I'd bid 2♠ then. Glad we've discussed this now

With red pockets at IMPs, I'm passing. Whatever range NT we are playing, partscore seems to be our maximum result.
If we are playing weak NTs, it's their hand. Any bid that I make is more likely to get us in trouble than win us IMPs. Worst case would be reopening in a suit that encourages intervener's partner to take a call and they find game.
If we are playing strong NTs, partner might just have a ♥ stack. I don't want to be explaining how my reopening bid cost us a sure positive. Certainly, there are hands where a partscore might make, but there are also hands where no fit exists and we go for a number versus a partscore.

I bid 2♠. Partner was so jonesing for a reopening double. He had something like KJ9xx of hearts in his hand and a bunch of defensive cards. After 2♠ pard tanks and I get some coffee. When I return THREE NO TRUMP is sitting in front of him LOL. I think he tilted a little here.
After 2♠ do you think 2N is pick your minor (with 3 minor an independent suit) or is 2N natural?

LOL
We passed 1 NT, which part of this pass he didnt see ? And what made his hand improved ? Is it our 2♠ bid or is it the fact that his 5 card suit is bid by opponents ?

Yes, 2NT is pick a minor.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn
