partner can have too many boring hands where 4s is just cold to risk passing imo

wonder how the vote would look at MP rather than IMP

I seem to remember a very long thread on this topic a few years ago god knows how to find it though

seems very close to me, my gut feeling is to pass but I could easily be persuaded that bidding is right.

looks like a totally normal opening bid to me!

This isn't meant as a political point but see from 1:30 what an incredibly inappropriate question what is wrong with these people eagles

4N but far from convinced its right.

I would open 4H, I don't hate 3H that much. It's a long way short of 1H imo.

2 spades we have 5 of them!!!

1d seems normal enough, it takes quite a specific hand from partner for it to go badly wrong.

may i suggest that if 4S would have found your fit, partners X was probably wrong - if partner is suggesting you should have bid 4S its pure resulting nonsense. I think 5c is reasonable, but you could consider 4N to show a 2 suited hand. I also really disagree with your assumption the XX is "SOS" - I think it's just blood :) - and even if it is SOS for your partnership I'm not entirely sure why you'd want to do it on this hand. ps your hand is far from a collection of rubbish - imagine partner has a normal double such as Axxx x AJxx AKxx then you have a good chance of slam!

read the diagram wrong - ignore

DOUBLE

Thanks for posting this poll, I have to say I'm surprised at the result - maybe I had an unconcious bias in my original answer.

i have some symapthy with it but I think south's double without a 4th spade and opposite a passed hand at the 4 level is just too much. If it was 1h or even 2h of course double but 4h it seems too high to me!

the classic 5432 handshape

I would x but I think it's pretty close between pass 1N and x

thank god for the "ignore user" option

good questions. To be honest me and P play very simple methods - 2s would be takeout of spades, 2n i guess natural although I agree it makes little sense and I guess X would show hearts?
