Those were exactly the thought crossed my mind. Otoh we were leading by a lot. Dunno if papi fools around ever. But my main concern was that they would bid it at the other table. Which they did. They made, I went down 1, it was not makeable anyway.
Pd had T9 Jxxxx xx Axxx (spades 5-1 and diamonds 5-1) both my 5-5 were 5-5 also by my left, lol. So yes, pass was correct.

LHO is marked with spade length since RHO did not make a support double and partner has only 2 spades. If you are down a lot you are more likely to get doubled in 4 and go for a number so it is risky either way. You bought really well (the T9 of spades, and the CA filling your king and meaning they won't get a club ruff) imo, and game is still not that great based on the auction (though with no bidding it is an excellent game obv).

2♠, intending to show 18-20 with spades on grounds of "dbl + pull = strong" and "cue of responder's suit = natural". I have a bit more than 18-20, but need to keep bidding low.
If this is prone to be taken as some sort of cue by pard, I'd need to try for something else. Probably 3♦.

bidding. It certainly is convenient for this hand but using it as
just a general game force would seem to be a much better use. The
problem I would have with bidding 2s here is that we could easily
lose the dia suit if 3n is not the right spot.
My preference would have been 3d over 2h which would be natural and
GF. This would allow p to rebid 3h (getting their extra length out
of the way safely) and letting us then bid 3n. I might indeed become
a victim to a well timed (ie lucky) 1s psyche but I will pay off and
save my 2s bid for something more flexible than the hand shown where
playing spades would seem to be much less a factor than normal.
