what is best? or what is biddable. obviously 4H works. North's 4d is what i would --unfortunately bid, instead of 4H which works.

Doubling 3♣ to show the reds is too hard? Shouldn't X then pull of 3N to 4♥ show about this hand?

lol No, actually my negative doubles show game forcing 7-6 distribution, so I am a little short.

My first thought was to double, rather than bid 3♥, but I don't have a huge problem with the auction as it stands. If your diamond spots were better, slam would probably be reasonable. Certainly, game in diamonds should be a strong favourite.

Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.

Double then 4 Heart had not shown this hand to me.
So I had bid 3 Heart 4 Diamond like north did. I am not sure about 6 diamond, I think I had pased 5 diamond but my first impression was to bid 6.
No need to cater for a 5-0 break despite the preempt. Yes a 4-1 is highly possible, but it is possible that partner holds a better hand too.

Bidding starts
(P) 1♠ (3♣)
Where do you want to be and how do you get there?
Our auction was:
(P) 1♠ (3♣) 3♥
(P) 3N (P) 4♦
(P) 5♦ (P) 6♦
Down 2 when E has all 5 trump, so slam and 5D are no good. Probably we should have suspected after the 3-level pre-empt. But seems to me there are several different places to play this if not in diamonds...what is best and why?
