Misbid at the club



I seem to get all the interesting rulings at my table. Sitting south again; notes:

1. Annouced as "strong"
2. Alerted
3. Asked while the lead was face down "how strong could 2D be?" response "23+", then clarified that they play benji.

Result: 2S+2 NS +170

East meant 2D as a weak two. What are your thoughts on west passing out 2S opposite what is systemically a game force, holding a reasonable 6 count?

Again, I didn't ask for a ruling at the time as it's only a club night. I also decided that the difference between a strong two in diamonds and a 23+ any shape wouldn't have affected my final pass.

UI at the club



Playing at our local club tonight (South on this board) we had the above auction.

1. Transfer, not alerted
2. Asked the meaning of 2H, explained as "transfer; oh, no, after the double it's natural"

Result: 4H-1 NS -50

Opinions on the 2S bid? I didn't ask at the time as it was only a club night and we weren't too worried about the score. I'd have asked for a ruling in any sort of match
