Caveat: this is partner's hand. I am *not* of the belief that "I was obviously right, what did she do wrong?"; I just don't find the decisions of the other hand that interesting. But note the first question; my mistake might have happened already!

  • What has partner shown?
  • What's the plan?

What are your systems ? Does 2♦ deny a 4cM, is 2♥ shape or stopper, if stopper why not 2n/2d?

Those are all good questions.

I would assume that 2♦ denied a 4cM. Oh, and after 1♦-2♦, (only) 2NT or 3♦ are passable with just a LR. After that, you're on your own. Hence question 1 - what has partner shown?

I don't like your system, your partner has diamonds, hearts and a hand that could play nt. gf but too good for an immediate 3nt opposite an unlimited hand.
If you can't bid a forcing 2n or 3♦ all roads lead to 3nt, 3♠ with control is terrible.
You need nebulous 2♣
