dia suit quality just good enough to convince me to try this. I have already limited
my hand with first x and my unwillingness to x again further limits my power so p will
rarely go wrong in deciding what to do (assuming I have not already created a disaster).
Opps have had an opportunity to reevaluate their hands based on the bidding and have decided
2s was sufficient. That makes this bid more appealing as the major risks of x and opps getting
to 4s now seem to severly mitigated.

You have 2♠ so you have a good chance to have a fit presumably in ♦. If you just meekly pass you can chalk up 2♠ and you probably lose a part score battle.
You also may luck out and push opp to 3-level possibly down.

Are you sure this is what you meant to write? Because the only way I would even consider something other than pass is if it were Matchpoints and we were NV.

Here's the hands:
2♠ and 3♦ both make on the nose. Though now that I look at it, west obviously should have opened 1N or Xed.

Yes, definitely. Maybe there is something more to be said for balancing if you were playing a weak NT system.
