looks good to me.

I can't imagine anyone selling out to 3C. True, it goes down if the defense is competent enough to get a couple trumps on the table, But the ones who sold out to 3C, probably wouldn't do that either.

West certainly has an ugly hand for intervining on the first round of bidding but it is certainly not a crime: E/W shouldn't sell out to 3♣ anyway.

No blame here from me. West is certainly a quacky min, but those added spots in the reds mean that I'd venture that X also. At least East didn't try 4♠

IMO 3S was a serious underbid by East, with a 5-loser hand and a working HK. Whether East should just blast 4S, or bid 4C to force West to pick a game, looks like a close decision.

Apparently I'm in a minority, if the early poll results are to be believed. But I can see myself bidding 3S with a lot of much weaker hands that don't want to sell out, and had North passed.

Guess you wish you had more people like me in your field, so your 3S -1 would beat my 4S-2 :)

Double of 3S is too aggressive at IMPs but it worked out well.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.
