Double shows a strong no trump without a decent stop, seems simple enough.

Indeed.

Partner said after that he wished we(I) had agreed to play weak jump shifts in response to an opening bid, then he would have responded 3♦ and shut East out of the auction. I am not a fan of weak jump shifts myself, feels like they are as likely to pre-empt your side as the opponents, and I think partner's hand is too strong for a weak jump shift anyway.

We took it one off although I think we can get -200, which was bad because half the field are in diamonds our way making 9, 10 or 11 tricks.


You need to play clubs, AK and a third ruffed by partner, a lead to one of your aces and a fourth club ruffed by partner.

Obvious 1♦ response.
