In hijack of another hand, Cyberyeti posted this equally interesting one.

Nowhere close to the best hand I've had opposite a strong 2♣



4♠ was solid suit

How would North have continued over 4♠ holding ♠3 ♥T ♦KQJT92 ♣A8632?

A 2♣-3♦ start really cramps the auction, and we probably reach 7N which is likely to have good chances

We would start 2♣-2NT (minors 5-5), which still has a fair bit of room if Opener has a decent minor fit or a huge single suited major like this one. 3♠ imposes trumps and we still have full space to control-bid.

I think a 1♠ opening is much better than 2♣, over which we have an easier auction.

1♠-2♦;
3♠!-4♣;
4♥-5♣;
5♦-5♥;
7♠-?

I think this is the most likely auction for me, though North might take more initiative as well over 4♥ (counting 12 almost certain tricks in 7♠, 2♥, 2♦, 1♣ with chances for a 13th).
