Without having seen Michael’s infinitely more fun line, I will be taking the spade hook to pitch a heart and ruffing one club in dummy - hoping for either a 3-2 D break or Qxx of clubs (or both :)

South is a very good player, but is pretty straightlaced. Of the two, north is more likely to psych. But you can trust your pd’s takeout double. With a balance 17-19 he will pass.

By open - I assume you mean a one-level bid (which to me this doesn't qualify - even if it's a six-loser hand) But pass also didn't really occur to me - the only question was how many diamonds

That's completely a question of agreement. We've decided our auctions are easier if we bid our 4-cd majors right away. 2♣ is a minor suit oriented invitational hand while 2♦ is minor suit oriented game force

You can click next to find out. JS got covered. Michael won and crossed to the AH to take the finesse again Losing both a diamond and a trump was suboptimal in 6S

If you're looking for better than a KJT8x stack, you may be waiting for a long time.
That said - I'm not sure West has the double of 2N so…
