One spade, I expect more bidding.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

I like 2♠, a bit of a stretch but our hand is good if partner has 4 spades.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

"Quack quack..the duck it goes quack quack"

1♠ for me, inspite of an extremely likely 9 card fit. 4 of my 7 HCP and both my tens are quacking in the opp's suits. Certainly PD has some ♣ and I have no idea whether they are worthless.

I'll take the slow road here with the boss suit.

1 ♠ would be a chicken bid, not a duck. :)
I would try 2♠ or x followed by 2♠ over 2 of a minor.

I slightly prefer double, because I hope that partner can evaluate his hand better when I bid 2 Spade next round.
Kind Regards

2♠. I don't think that's a stretch, and I'll probably have another go with 3♥ if I get the chance.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

X, followed by bidding spades.

The X is not penalty, but it showes hearts,
which in the end translates to penalty.

As it is, I can bid both majors, and i will
do this.

With kind regards
Marlowe

PS: I am not sure, I would treat a heart bid
after a spade bid as natural.
With kind regards

1♠
I am void in partners 2nd suit and my ♥QJ is wasted since partner is shot in that suit. a 2♠ bid, should promise a little more. Partner is likely to expect a ♣ and ♠ fit after dbl, I think it would be a big risk to dbl in a pick up partnership.

double is obviously penalty for anybody who can read....
There is no take out double avaiable.

4♠. Let them find out about clubs if they can.

If you try 1/2♠, you might be able to bid hearts later (just in case RHO psyched), but it may have to be at the FIVE level.

1♠, because the auction isn't over yet, and because it's possible partner is strong with clubs.

2♠, surely the fifth spade is worth something; in spite of the quacky nature of the hand.
