Obviously a tough hand. I'll bite though and bid 5♠.

5S - I paid my table money and they dealt me 11 good black cards...but I am not holding my breath in the belief that it is underwritten by anyone.

I play 5 ♠ x.
Maybe 6 ♣ is better, but I am not in a position to find this out.
Kind Regards

I'm afraid it's M♠lti this time.

But I sit anyway.

LHO doubles? this is so damned scary. But there are too many hearts outside for this to be true. IMO partner could had pulled this if he was SURE RHO had spades. He has doubts, so I like to pass.

AND... My friends, you have all gone for 1100 with me B)

Partner held

♠ --------
♥ QT9643
♦ 84
♣ JT953

LHO has KJTxxx♠. 6♣ is only -1, and 5♦ makes.

Is there anything that can be done?

partner can bid 5NT and redouble it for SOS. If you put the problem from the other side I wonder how many people would do that.

5♠ + pull to 6♣.

Maybe it's one more in 6♠, but at least it guarantees we play in the right suit (if there is one.. lol).
