so that a spade game was in the offing.

And David's Response:

Hi Keith,
I guess every cloud has a silver lining. I doubt that 2H will be our best spot so you can proceed by bidding 2S or 3D. 2S would seem to have the greater upside in case partner has 3 spades. Holding the South hand, it will be tempting to pass 2S as the heart queen looks of dubious value and the club king is unprotected.

All the best,
David Beauchamp
