  1. 2♦ is an ugly bid, poor suit and balanced shape suggests passing. After an auction where the oppo have found a fit at the 2 level, at MPs u should try and balance. If East hadn't bid 2♦ in the first round then he has a pretty standard balancing TOD, over which West should try 3♣. Perhaps East should balance anyway, but two free bids with that hand??
