Interesting hand for North. Problem is that X is going to lead subsequent bidding problems and pard wearing a puzzled expression. Probably best just to pass.
West does a reverse showing a strong hand, which it is if there is a fit. Trouble is he doesn't know whether there is a fit and is just hopeful. Pard doesn't bid game but just gives simple support which suggests West should consider passing as a logical alternative.
