Help
Playing at open pairs in sectionals, I did really poorly with my mentor type guy (we've played 4 times before and always placed... oh well) Bad bad defense by me pretty much blew the whole thing, but anyway...
Here's one hand that came up:
You're second seat, all white, MPs.
♠KQJxx ♥A98xx ♦Kx ♣x
(1C) - 2C* - (2D) - 4S
(5C)
*Would you?
What do you do now?

Many players, including me, play Michaels as either weak or very strong. I would overcall 1S with this good but not great hand. However, I believe Mike Lawrence, for example, plays Michaels at all strengths, so you can do what you like.
Having bid 2C, I really don't know what to do. I probably pass.

Opening lead is going to be a diamond, through the king, to the diamond bidder.
Looks like down one to me- if partner wants to sacrifice, he's welcome to it. Pass.
