Scoring: IMP

(4♥) - 4♠ - (5♥) - ?


Do you take the push to 5♠?

Doesn't feel right to bid. This hand doesn't offer much coverage for pard, except for the 5th trump.

Pass - too many quacks and not enough offensive strength. If pd Xs I will bid 5S

Easy pass.

Many pre-emptive 4♥ bids are effectively transfer bids to 4♠ and partner has not promised a huge hand here as there are too many hands where you just have to bid it.

I'll probably have to bid 5♠ if partner doubles, but that's a tougher problem.
