Do you overcall 2♦ or treat is as a WJO and bid 3♦?

2 ♦ is fine. It is a very long way from a WJO which amongst other things could put partner off from bidding no trumps

Well that is my judgement exposed as being screwed.

I did bid 3♦ and it went badly wrong:



One down but 6♦ is there on a favourable layout.

3♦ would have more going for it facing a passed hand.

I don’t think W bid 4D but even with the 3D bid, partner knows 4S likely make (2 aces + a trick from partner, maybe CQ scores but maybe not), and at green 5D should be very cheap (2 aces + 5 or 6 tricks on average from partner and a few ruffs), even if partner preempted with less than usual given the vulnerability.

And if you bid 2D, they’ll bid 5D but this time to make. Even doing a slam try is possible but xxx trumps is a bit less that what partner could expect for a slam try.

So even if 3D is clearly not such a good bid, the 2 subsequent passes by partner are truly bad.

Same story again.
