Scoring: MP

P-(P)-1♠-(3NT)
4♠-(P)-P-(4NT)
P-(P)-?


Expert partner expert opps.

Perhaps worth mentioning that you and your partner play a 15+ HCP 1♣.

Okay, the auction has been corrected.

I would just pass. We pushed them up to 4NT. Maybe he is taking a shot and this is not making, but I am not comfortable taking the sure minus at the 5-level.

Whoah the opening pass is crazy. There is no answer to this now.

LHO really thinks this is making.
I believe him, 5C (and I imagine we'll be defending 5D soon)

I pass.

Partner passed in 1st seat, so I think 4♠ would have been a hard fight to make, why should I go higher?

I don't believe that NT is opps best contract and they won't get my help to get into a better one.

Playing NT I should be able to make my 2 Aces and the ♠K and even if there is a long standing ♦ suit, there is a chance that partner has a trick or two.

If he can make 4NT with less than 24 HCP, well done opps.

He probably can't on a club lead, but we aren't going to get a club lead.

Agree with Frances, trust your vulnerable opponents.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

I'd pass. This seems like a multiple horses situation to me. Maybe sacrificing is most likely to be right out of any one scenario, but I'd rather gamble on (1) he doesnt have his bid (2) he has it but he cant make anyway (3) 5black goes down 3 or more
