What's this?

Dealer on your left, all red at MPs:

 

♠Jxxx

♥KJxxxx

♦xx

♣x

 

1♣ - 1♠ - 5♣ - PA

PA - X - PA

 

What's partner's double, and what are you doing about it?

On the forums it is right to bid 5♥, at the table oh lord, I hope I would there as well.

I think I would prefer to show my primary support for partner's suit.

If JLOL is bidding at the 5 level, it MUST be right.

 

5♠ for me. I suppose an odd layout could make 5♥ better, but thre is no way to know.

Right. It is important I think to keep in mind that partner with a goodish hand is under pressure to act - we cannot hold him to perfect shape in this situation. Make the practical bid again - support spades.
