:P 2 the first time for reasons well-explained in this thread. After 4-double, I too want to run, but how? Expecting pard to treat 4NT as being for minors is too obscure for me, and he is unlikely to have a double stop. 5 seems the least of evils. Does RHO look like a player holding five spades and four clubs? 5 puts all our chances in pard having four or five. If I had another king, I might pass and try to brute it out.

I don't think any competent player would misunderstand 4N. In fact, if my partner did it, I'd give 10-1 odds that he has exactly this shape and approximately these values.

 

That's not saying I'd run....I have no reason for thinking that 5 of a minor will be better..
