* Good raise
~ hearts + spade tolerance

North opens 1club, East overcalls with 1spade and South shows a good raise with 2spade. West may double, or bid 3heart to show hearts with a spade tolerance, but East-West will probably reach 4spade and I am betting that no-one can find a way to beat it. Any takers?
