I couldn't bear a simple 2spade even thought it's probably the right bid as partner has responded at the 2 level and is likely to find another bid. To get around my problem I "accidentally mixed a small spade in with my diamonds". You may not like either North or South's bidding but I'm afraid that you have no option - you'll have to play the same contract as I did. 3NT. At least West is friendly - he leads heartJ. If it's any help, East is a better player than West - who is moderate. What will you do?
