I would mentally prepare to lead the ♦K :)

Double.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Double.

If partner bids 4♠ we have reasonable chance of making, and if he bids the unlikely 5m , this may be a make , or a good save.
If he passes , I have reasonable defense and need about 1 trick from pd.

tx for the answers! Its more close than i thought.

At the table i didnt double and prepared myself mentally to lead the ♦ king which i did after all pass. dummy was:


Dec took the ace, partner playing small and declarer discarded a ♠ on this trick. After that a small ♥ to the queen and your king. what now?(i got this wrong) Looking back now i think i shd get this right for the right reason.

I could like my hand a lot more than I do, but that 4♥ was third seat. I'll try a double.
Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.
