If you chose 3spade then all should be OK - in that you will play in spades, but at the table might you not have flirted with the idea of bidding 3NT? You can see how partner was stuck over 3club - a horrible dilemma. If you had decided on 3spade then no doubt South would have raised to 4spade, but unfortunately you are going to be asked to play 3NT on the lead of diamondK - the actual contract and lead when the hand occurred at the table. You win diamondA ...and then?
