Sometimes I use big words I don't fully understand to make myself seem more photosynthesis.

I sense a dispute arose from this hand and this post is more about "I told you so".

Even if double is "cards" passing 3♠ is awful at imps. So N 100% of blame.
This is difficult hand I think. S did well to double and give his side a chance I think many pairs would end up defending 3S undoubled.

So, South gets the blame for giving North a chance to make a mistake.

The X by South should show one of the stronger alternative, and in the given
context that would be the 10-12 bal. hand.
I am not able to count, so this may explain, why I dont find the mentioned
HCP strength in the given hand.
I would make a X with the North hand, he has add. strength, shortage in their
suit, ... so I make it 50-50.
The -530 goes to South, the -140 instead of +??? goes to North, if you get to
game after North makes the X, you have +540, otherwise +270.
I would not reach game, but maybe N/S. But N/S never gave themself the chance to
discover their fit.
Which would mean that the blame distribution is closer to 2:1 than to 1:1, but you
only gave 1:1 as option.
With kind regards

I don't think so. Opening a skewed NT should be done to avoid rebid problems, or because you have most of your points jammed into your short suits, or to solve some other problem; this North hand has a comfortable rebid on most continuations after opening the nice five card major. Opening 1NT might have led to a better result here, but that's resulting.

Why? Isnt an NT opener supposed to show a bal. hand?
Does have opener a rebid problem, or can he nicely show
a 5-4 pattern below reverse strength?
