This is a hand from a local sectional:
Scoring: MP

Sitting south, the auction begins: (1♦) - 2H - (4♦)

Partner's 2♥ was weak. Your partner is mildly agressive and is a very solid player. What do you think partner holds?

On your own??

Agree with 4♠, then double next round if it comes to that.

4♠, expecting a shootout.

Since pard is solid, I'll bid 4♥.

I'm worried he has some 64 or 65 in the reds...

If partner has solid hearts, he doesn't have a weak hand, and if partner has 6-5 in the reds, what are the opponents bidding ♦ on?? If partner is 6-4, that leaves 3 black cards somewhere...

Sorry I mistook solid to mean a solid suit... 4♥ should be a murder on a ♦ lead... You must have a ♥ loser somewhere. At least you have a self sustaining suit.

Well, maybe. Just that I don't like guessing which black suit is best, so let me try the red one first :)

If S/C were reversed, I'd try 4♠.

If partner has just as much as 2 spades 4♠ is practically laydown. I can absorb a few taps and hope for the 3-2 split and just fire clubs at them. Pard doesn't even need the ♥A.

So I'll bid 4♠. If LHO cracks this now I have some thinking to do....

If they bid 5♦ I'm going to aXe them.

In practice, partner had the perfect hand:
Scoring: MP

(1♦) - 2♥ - (4♦)- 4♠ - All Pass
The K♠ is in the pocket, so I made 6.

Partner should have raised you to slam. Didn't he know he had the 9 of clubs?

It would be fun, to bid 5D, unfortunately,
I wont convince p, that I dont have a fit
for him.

I would go with 6C.
