:P Why can't the opponents leave my auction alone! We could easily have six, or be down one at the five level when the opponents are -500 in clubs. I can't say I feel very strongly about 5♥ versus a pass. Commiting to the six level is WAY too rich for my blood.

Have to bid 5♥ anyway. It figures to make opposite two useful cards in partner's hand plus the fact that, given the bidding, any finesses should be 2 to 1 to be onside. Also, given my club ace and the bidding, the odds of pard having club tricks is minimal.

P.S. Reviewed thread and see that 5♥ was the winner (very small gloat), but on the actual hand, why didn't pard correct to 5♠? Did she think I was doubling 3♣ based on my (world famous) good looks alone, or because I could play in more than one suit?

Unlucky to find ♥ 5 - 0 for my 5♣ doubled. Anyway, still two down if declarer misguesses trumps. However to bid 6♠ and find that opponents have 2 tricks was hardly surprising IMHO. BTW, 5♥ does not survive a 3 - 1 ♠ break.

5H also does not survive a 5-0 heart split.

I'm not sure about your analysis whereagles, how do you propose to make 5H? club lead, you lead a spade, they win and lead another club and you ruff... and lose 2 spades and a heart at best.

♣ A

RHO you LHO pard
3♣ . dbl . 5♣ . dbl
pass ..?

Your bid?

Think I PASS and take the points -- WE got done by the prempt -- NO way to SCIENTIFICALLY determine if we have slam on or not :) :(
MAYBE this time opps get good score but IMO pass in this type of situation gains more often than it loses :)
