    Matchpoints, none vul., East is dealer.

    North: KT863-43-874-T72
    East: J-QJ9875-Q32-KQJ
    South: AQ974-A6-AT9-643
    West: 52-KT2-KJ65-A985

    After East opens 1H, and South overcalls 1S, how should the auction continue from there? What is the most likely contract? Thank you.

    Well West's bid depends greatly on system. If 1H show 5, then West
    should show a limit raise. If 1H show 4+ then west probably will give a negative double.
    It greatly depends on the aggressiveness of North on weather East-West
    will reach game.
