The good old questions by Bobby Wolff

A: 3♥: The sensible way to play in this auction (if not using three clubs as the Wolff signoff) is to make all calls forcing, except a pass. So, you can bid three hearts to show five hearts and a forcing hand. If your partner had opened one club, you might have simply raised to three no-trump, but that small doubleton spade is a danger signal.

Your result so far:

A: 2♠: Whether or not you think this hand is too good for a two-diamond opener (I could go either way), over your partner's forcing two-heart call you should bid two spades now. This is natural in principle, suggesting either a four-card suit or a holding like this one.

Your result so far:

A: 3♥: You already denied four hearts when you bid two spades over two diamonds. (Yes, you could be 7-4, but in practical terms, you would surely never bypass even a moderate four-card major when in a game force). So you can bid three hearts to temporize and let partner support spades or try three no-trump.

Your result so far:

A: 5♥: Your double of four spades is card-showing, not penalty. Your partner's four-no-trump call suggests two places to play; and when he corrects five clubs to five diamonds, he is showing the red suits. You should bid five hearts now, to play the longer, if not necessarily stronger, trump suit.

Your result so far:

A: 2♠: You may have a dead-minimum hand, but you do have suitable shape, and your partner has volunteered a call, so he won't have a complete bust. Even if you are outgunned on high cards, you may still make a surprising number of tricks, since you have aces, and you may be able to engineer a cross-ruff. So, raise to two spades.
