Assume that it is IMPs. What is your call?

(is it different at MPs)

There's only one call I really hate and that's Dbl. I have maybe 1.5 tricks, which means we need partner to have 2.5 tricks to defeat the contract. Btw, with such a hand partner may Dbl 4♠ himself. I think I'd bid 5♣, although pass is definitely a good alternative imo.

[the hog]

I would pass this.

[Winstonm]

I pass. Could be talked into a bid equal vul at mps.

both hands and the bidding:

[hv=pc=n&s=sht865dqj3cakqt65&n=skj7h2dakt92cj732&d=w&v=n&b=12&a=2sp4sppp]233|200[/hv]

Missed 6♣.

I wondered how far South should stretch, knowing that North will have some ♠-length and probably pass it out?

[mcphee]

I hope to have an understanding partner and bid 5C fully aware this may not work out. Double as a choice has no appeal to me even though it might work out. There is no assurance that my RHO holds a weak hand, so I feel this is risky, but on the other hand, I do have a lot of offense and may buy great.

The decision is moot with my ex partner, he would have has no compuction about bidding 3d.
