Ah, ok. Well, to bid 5♣ makes much more sense than dbl now.

I voted for 5♣ but I thought pass then pull double to 5♣ had some merit (this should be forcing pass situation I think). I still think 5♣ is the correct call here after reading the responses.

It is a forcing pass situation, but as I think Mikeh was implying....

Phil has already shown extra values in the auction. To use a forcing pass here should imply more extras than he has already shown. If the first call of 2♥ showed at least a king extra (as Phil stated), a forcing pass here should imply about 2 kings extra. With nothing to add to values shown already, you really should go ahead and bid 5C and let partner know you have real support and let him make an accurate decision.

jmoo.

(I voted for 5C also, but considered 6C at length before doing so. A forcing pass was not an option.) :)
Is the word "pass" not in your vocabulary?
So many experts, not enough X cards.

I voted for 5C and agree with what Mike said.
