You are red, they are white, partner deals and:

 

2♦ 2♠ 4♥ 4♠

5♥ 5♠ ???

 

2♦ is Multi.

Would have doubled 2♠ for pass or correct. Now I double 5♠

Hi,

 

X, what else?

 

I got lucky guessing the weak two right, and forcing them to go to 5S,

now I will try to collect my winnings.

 

With kind regards

I made a mistake. Would your answer change if they are white and you are red?

No. To make 6, you need partner to have (at least) A♦ as well as K♥. Can't tell if partner has that, so I simply X and take the + score.

I can't imagine why partner bid 5♥ vulnerable himself, is there any hand that justifies that?. Without ♥AJ10?

 

Something odd like 6-5 maybe. We are still far from slam, so double.

can you really expect partner to hold the AK♦ and the k♥. I think not so it is time to extract whatever you can out of the opponents.

I would bid 6H because:

 

A ) I expect partner to be 7-3-3 with a spade void very often and

 

B ) I expect them to save very often so I'd rather double 6S than 5S.

 

A is suspect, partner could be 7-4-1-1 and we're off 2 aces, but I can fall back on B (or partner having HK DA and we run good). 7-4-2-0 is fine, I like a spade void or a diamond void, club void is obviously bad (still can fall back on HK DA and run good, or they might try a non spade lead assuming WE are void).

 

I don't think 6-4-3-0 can bid 6H, but if he did we should be making it (though may have a slow club loser if partner has --- KQxxxx KTxx Jxx, I do not think this is a 5H bid).

 

With 6-5 he would bid his second suit.
