4S, I'm in the wrong seat for a double, and pd may have no defense.

It doesn't occur to me to consider redoubling 4S.

Part 1: Partner has forced (without the 4H bid) me to either bid 3S or 4m. He is void in hearts and cannot have more than the spade KJ. 4S is likely making, but 4H should be a bloodbath after forcing declarer to ruff a spade in hand.

I'll double. And we are not in the wrong seat for this, as we are over the 1H bidder, not in front of him.

Part 2: If I bid 4S instead of doubling, I would XX if I trust my partner. 3H should not be a weak bid, imo. Partner is void in hearts, so no likely losers there, and I have a stiff club, so there should be no more than 1 loser there either. The opponents are likely to run and I am reasonably certain of beating any 5 level contract that they run too.
Is the word "pass" not in your vocabulary?
So many experts, not enough X cards.

I'm OVER the opener? Well, I thought I could read!

Now it's close. I double, but I'm not at all sure it's right.

4S then pass. I think doubling 4H is terrible and asking to lose a double game swing.

I care about the friends I have made on BBO. Also, I am extremely concerned about the environment/ ecology/ wildlife/ the little planet that we call Earth. How much more of the world's habitat and food supply for animals do we plan on destroying. How many more wetlands are we going to drain, fill, and build on? How many more sand dunes are we going to knock down in the interests of high-rise hotels or luxury homes?

4 spades

establish the fit first, then you can hunt for other game if need be. Just hope I can make 4S.

I don't think there's a big chanse opps can make 4♥, eventhough that's a possibility. But I do believe we can make 4♠. Thus i bid 4♠. I'd pass if opps double.
Kind regards,
Harald
