I think partner should have a good hand and didn't bid earlier because he was happy just beating 1N. Maybe Axx Ax KQJTxx xx. (I know I have the ♦Q, just saying what I think his bidding should show.)

then why did he X 2H and not bid 3D immediately?

I think it's slightly risky to take inferences from the fact that pard dbled instead of bidding 3♦ because sometimes pards think in strange ways ;)

If it is risky to draw inferences from calls partner has made.. then what is left?
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

It is risky in this particular situation, not in general (doh!) :)

  • Interests:My personal interests are my family and my friends. I am extremely concerned about the lives and futures of the kids (and their families) that I work with. I care about the friends I have made on BBO. Also, I am extremely concerned about the environment/ ecology/ wildlife/ the little planet that we call Earth. How much more of the world's habitat and food supply for animals do we plan on destroying. How many more wetlands are we going to drain, fill, and build on? How many more sand dunes are we going to knock down in the interests of high-rise hotels or luxury homes?

1) You could try trusting the opp's bidding,
2) You could try see if there were any breaks in tempo or facets in partner's or opp's behavior or other sources of UI on which to base your decision,
3) Encourage the opps to ask for a full disclosure explanation of partner's bids,

Once again the need for a pair of Luis' magical sunglasses is demonstrated.
