Hi
Very good topic, now I post your hand diagram, as you said "Any reasoning for playing 4SX should be re-examined.", I think this task is too tough for our Gib fans, so it would be a matter of fred/uday.

Opening lead of stiff K is also amusing.

I recognize that hand, I was anoyed with my partner's choice of 4 also in a similar auction (my rebid was 3 or 4 rather than 2, don't remember which), but it made on the lead of K.

I must be missing something. If you are saying it is wrong for the defense to double 4S, I agree with that. 4Sx should make 10 tricks without working up a sweat. 11 tricks are cold if you manage to drop the singleton trump K.

May I ask experts for example manudude03 and johnu to come here and make some analysis on this hand ?

I am a beginner, I want to learn from experts.
Let us all wait for their wonderful comments.
