This post is to settle an argument, so don't shoot me for asking stupid questions ;)

Partner starts the auction:
Pass - 1♠ - 2NT* - 3♠**
Pass - 4♠ - ?
(* 2NT = unusual 2NT)
(** opps don't play unusual over unusual)

- Do you agree with 2NT?
- What now?

Now I've worked that we are at favourable vulnerability, I would bid 2NT. At the opposite vulnerability it would not be good enough for me.

Then I have an easy pass over four spades.

I like a double of 1♠ instead of 2NT, and obviously pass 4♠ whatever you bid the first time. With partner being a passed hand, the 2NT bid is also fine though.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

2NT and pass both look 100% to me.

Fine with 2N. The chances of us making 4♥ (and the opponents not bidding 4♠) are pretty small so I don't see the need to x.

Now pass. Seriously; what else would you consider?

only an idiot would bid a second time

Ok...maybe that is an overbid, but (if it is) not by much

I can see that a double on the second round could easily work with our two aces, but one needs to be an idiot or desperate to do it.

(maybe this post is yet another indication of why I do better at imps than mps)
