Our hand is a monster despite the wasted K of H. I think the 4441 gadget is only useful is partner really think that 5m is possible. (with a so-so hand he should just stayman and bid 3Nt.)

Finding weakness to stop in 4m is a losing approach in imps. Play 3Nt or make sure you have enough strenght to give 5m a fair shot. Only when opps overcall and we dont have stopper that im willing to stop in 4m.

I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

Ok, it seems reasonable to not upgrade every 4-4-4-1 9 count and to just make 4 of a minor/3 of a major forcing over the treatment.  Thanks for the feedback.  As it turns out, partner had:

Dealer: ?????
Vul: ????
Scoring: Unknown
♠ QJTx
♥ x
♦ Axxx
♣ QJTx
 


and the first three tricks were ace of spades, spade ruff, ace of clubs in 5 diamonds (I made a 4♥ call because of the slam potential), losing to 3NT in the other room, which came home on the natural spade lead from Axxxxx.

I play that 2♣ asks opener to bid a 4 card major to deal with problem hands like this.

I'm bidding 4♦. If partner passes that I shoot him in the foot and find a new partner who doesn't insist on stupid things like 4m being NF here. :P
Kind regards,
Harald

1NT is clear, now 4♦ forcing is clear unless I need to change the system :P
