I think 4S is a very very bad choice.

You simply put all eggs in one basket. 4S should show a very pure hand. But this hand's strength will vary with pd's response. The right place could be a partial, a game or even a slam in spades, hearts, or clubs. Why not ask for pd's opinion first before you make the final decision?

4♠ is very unilateral. It's the bid you make in the MBC or an indy playing with some randomer you don't trust enough to have a sensible constructive auction with so you punt what's likely to make.
The difference between theory and practice is that in theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice, there is.

It is very unilateral, yes. But in practice it works more often that it should, which is why I choose it :lol:
