Scoring: IMP

(P)-1♠-(4♣)-P,
(P)-?


You opened light (Disagreement on that decision?), got preempted, and have to make a call now. Go quietly, or venture on? If venture on, how are you going?

Edit: Double by partner would be, by agreement, negative.

Double
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

I double and take 4 Diamond to 4 Heart. Maybe this shows something close enough to my hand.

I know that this is an overbid, otoh if you have the shortage and you are in the pass out seat, you may have to take some more risk.

But I will take the risk and hope that pd has something like xx,QJxx,Axxx,xxx and 4 Heart is too good to be missed.
Kind Regards

In my experience responder will often stretch to make a negative double or 4♠ bid in this auction without 'true 4-level values' so I would pass. It doesn't look like our hand. Prepared to apologize if partner has a penalty pass.

Have to pass. This is the kind of hand you bid when you are on tilt.
