Question is if Xed, should we run to 5D or not.
Edit: hadnt seen the hidden sentence below the chart... RHO could have anything from AK 8th to AKQ 6th and some heavy side goodies, so our chances of going for a phone number have increased, and even if it is just 500, we need to win the next deal...so pass hoping partner will do something (but unlikely)

Last that I played rubber bridge, a double would be for penalty so that seems like a poor choice.
(If I were confident that this was takeout double seems a lot more reasonable)
So it pretty much boils down to either 4!S or Pass.
Looks as if there's 20+ HCP divided between LHO and partner.
My Spade suit is sufficiently weak that even if partner has a bunch of points, we could go for a number.
So mark me down for a reluctant pass.

This was given to me as a problem. I thought 4♠ was automatic I see I was wrong
I don't know the exact hands but FWIW: The player, who held this hand, doubled.
Partner had reasonable values with ♠ support and bid 4♠ which was doubled and defeated
4♥ would also have been defeated.

I wonder how much weight was given in the votes to the fact that it was rubber bridge. I would bid 4S at MPs and possibly IMPs, but the risk of going for a large number at rubber bridge seems too great.

and it sounds like doubling worked out just as poorly, so nothing matters.
