3heart! Pass 4club+ Pass
4heart^ End

* Michaels, spade and a minor
~ value raise in heart
# I like the minors
! my hand is lousy
+ I have clubs too
^ so what?

Whenever I pass with sort of hand I always seem to end up with a lousy score, but I cannot imagine that many players would decline to open the bidding.

Anyway, you eventually reach 4heart after North has shown a spade/minor two-suiter and South has shown a liking for his partner's minor. North leads diamondQ, so over to you.
