You are South, dealer at unfavourable, holding:

Scoring: IMP


You open 1♥ and auction goes:

1♥ - (Pass) - Pass - (2♠)    (6+♠, int-ish)

(Opponents are now silent throughout)
You now decide to double and partner bids 2NT, scrambling or aka 2 places to play. Rightly or wrongly, you bid 3♣ and this is passed back to partner who bumps it to 4♣.

Your bid.

Partner is a very good player but you are not sure how far he would go with responding light, albeit unfavourable.

Partner doesn't seem to have spade shortness or else i guess we would have seen more bidding from opponents.

I pass. Hope 4C makes!

I pass, playing him for something like xxx - Kxxxx JTxxx. Would raise if I was 1534 with this hand.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

I'm reasonably certain we have 2 spade losers and a diamond loser. So I guess the question is whether we play partner for ♥xx, ♦K and ♣J?

Not totally unreasonable, but we're still likely to go down. I just pass.

Unless you were contemplating a 4H bid, rather than pass, what is your point?

Nobody likes being in 4♣.
But bidding on feels wrong here as prd. would almost certainly have responded earlier with an ace.
I pass reluctanlty and hope to make it.

I was contemplating a 4♥ bid. If I'm going to bid anything I think I should bid 4♥. Maybe partner can pass it!!!!!!!!!!!! xxx Q Kxxx xxxxx?
