IMPs, White vs Red, Second Seat

♠A9xx ♥x ♦AQJ876 ♣Jx

(1♦) - P - (1NT) - P
(P) - ?

If you double, LHO bids 2♣. Now what?

Director, I would like to forbid a diamond lead.

I would just balance with 2D over 1N.

IMO
  • Over (1N) ??: _P = 10, 2♦ = 7, _X = 3.
  • After (2♣) _P (_P) ??: _P = 10, 2♦ = 4.
Where are the ♥? Maybe opener mixed them up with his ♦ :P

X would be for t/o for me, so I'll bid 2D (not that I will even consider X-ing if it were for penalties).

Don't like x of 1N and much prefer 2D.

If they bid 3N I might x with this hand but its not clear.
