Do you agree with 5? What now?

I pass, unless we have some obscure agreement that this sequence is forcing (in which case I double), but I doubt anyone plays such an ambiguous 5 bid as initiating a FP.

I don't like 5 but I have to agree with it as I cannot think of anything better. Well, 4NT (2 places) and then bidding 5 is better but is subject to pre-emption.

Pass is not an option holding 2-3 prime cards opposite an opening bid. The question is whether double or 6 is best, but I'll plump for double, afraid of a slow loser in one of the minors.

pass is silly, I am really not afraid of overtricks.

I double too.
Kind Regards
