IMPs, both Vul, you hold ♠J52 ♥7 ♦AKQT65 ♣743.

LHO opens 4♥, passed to you. Do you get in there or go quietly?

I would pass. I have so liittle defense that I think double will too often be bad. 5D is my third choice.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

Easy pass.
From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
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."

Pass.

My only real asset is the diamond suit, which is worth very little on defense in all likelihood, and 11 tricks is pretty far off. We could miss a spade fit, but pard might have already bid a speculative 4♠ on some of the hands where 4♠ would be good.
