As I understand minor suit stayman, which I usually don't play,

1NT - 2 -
3 - 3 -
3NT - P

With 3 showing shortness.

Why wouldn't south show his hand? Is he worried that he will stop the opponents from the minor suit they were about to lead?

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the 3.

Am I the only one who would overcall 2 with the East hand?

Yes, the suits as thread-bare
Yes, we're vulnerable
Yes, my Aces are both in the short suit

Even so, i think that I'd call 2

Thanks.

A couple of things I don't understand:

1. Why are we showing the spade shortness? The stiff if the Ace. If partner has Jxx, that may be a second stopper after the lead of K from KQx+. Is he supposed to bid 3NT with that? Do you want to push toward 5min? Just looks like 1N-3N if the opps do not bid.

2. Capp?!? Whatever. Clear 2, then.

3. After 2, of course the call, I'd play UVU and bid 2 by South (diamonds, stronger), after which North has a clear 3NT blast. South respects that.
