Over 2♣ I took a kind of weird action with the South hand. I thought I might be given a chance to play in spades (e.g. Pass-Pass-Dbl), or at least discourage a heart lead somewhat. When the opponents found a diamond fit I regretted my choice. It did work out pretty well when in fact partner hit on the ♠A lead against 3N and we took 8 fast tricks for +200 and 16/17 matchpoints.
I don't like my choice, but can't complain about the result.
[Andy] The auction did indeed sound funny, but I didn't actually figure out Franco's original reasoning. I mostly just trusted my RHO's auction instead :)
