Ì bid 2H. Where did I get my "real" partner? My online partner is also a
real person. Whoever my partner is, I bid 2H. BTW I never agree SAYC with
any partner I want to keep, yet bidding 2H seems to be universal...

As others have gathered, in BBO-standard (this system is usually
referred to as "SAYC", rightly or wrongly), responses to takeout doubles
promise 5 cards and at least 8 points. You'll get used to it.

Now, so, we've established that the right bid in real bridge is 2H, but
in SAYC, it is clearly pass. However, let's assume you bid 2H. Next
hand (the original 1S bidder) now bids 2N and this is passed back to
you. Your call now?
