With a huge hand, North doubles.

With 6 losers and not vulnerable, East re-bids 2\C even though partner passed. 

West shows preference for diamonds.

North doubles again, still for take-out. 

South reluctantly shows Hearts. 

Given the vulnerability West competes to five diamonds but gives in to five
hearts.

East can stretch to three hearts. 

All are vulnerable, and South doesn’t have enough to support North.

Should West raise to four hearts? It works, but relies on two favourable
finesses(!)

{

East two-level spade overcall is <b>intermediate</b> 11-15hcps and six+ in the
suit.

South has 7HCPs, five hearts and a singleton (8 losers). A normal response
would be a raise to three, so with interference, South STRETCH raises to four. 

The vulnerability favours East-West. West cannot see any defence to hearts and
so COMPETITIVELY raises to 4\S. 

West expects to be 1 or 2 down doubled, -100 or -300 better than -620.

North has only 5 losers, expects South to have 8. Losing Trick Count says
24-8-5=11 tricks, so North raises to 5\H expecting to make it.

East raises to 5\S, expecting to be doubled and sacrificing.

South opens a Rule of 20 1\S.

West has 9 HCP, but six good hearts and overcalls 2\H.

East bids 2\S, an unassuming cue bid, showing support for West's hearts and
interest in game, or even more.

West rates his hand better than minimum and jumps to 4\H.
