1. 2NT showing the minors, this is pretty standard I think.
2. Dbl, we have the values and shape.
3. Dbl, I've played Fantunes two's for a while and in my experience it pays off to Dbl for takeout whenever you have the distribution for it, by both opener and responder.
4. 3♠ I guess, but not very happy about it.

For me:
1.2NT
2.dbl
3.pass
4.pass
I am not particularly unhappy about any of the above. I am not sure about 3 at all though because I have no experience at all playing those openings. Partner may well be 3-2-2-6 or 4-3-2-4 (or 5-2-3-3). I will win a lot doubling in the former case and lose a lot (probably) doubling in the latter.

OK I thought that 4D was really terrible but reading Helene's arguments has made me reconsider.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

As bridge is a bidder's game, the successful answer to each question is not to pass. 4♦ will also survive, Han.
