Caveat: this is partner's hand. I am *not* of the belief that "I was obviously right, what did she do wrong?"; I just don't find the decisions of the other hand that interesting. But note the first question; my mistake might have happened already!

What are your systems ? Does 2♦ deny a 4cM, is 2♥ shape or stopper, if stopper why not 2n/2d?

Those are all good questions.
I would assume that 2♦ denied a 4cM. Oh, and after 1♦-2♦, (only) 2NT or 3♦ are passable with just a LR. After that, you're on your own. Hence question 1 - what has partner shown?

I don't like your system, your partner has diamonds, hearts and a hand that could play nt. gf but too good for an immediate 3nt opposite an unlimited hand.
If you can't bid a forcing 2n or 3♦ all roads lead to 3nt, 3♠ with control is terrible.
You need nebulous 2♣

Prefer to start with 2C, let's find out if partner is balanced or has real long D.

Hi,
standard was, that all bids below 3m dont show add. strength, i.e. 3NT would show a spade stop
and a non min opener.
I may be wrong, but there seems to be a tendency towards, that all bids except 3m (and 2NT)
now show non. min hands.
I would make a quant. move with 4NT.
As far as I see it, a diamond fit is not yet certain.
As always, the NT range matters, how light / low you go with your openings, I would assume, that
p accepts with 15/16.
With kind regards
Marlowe
