I'd bid 5♠. I believe my honors are well placed for the offense. +650 is way better than +500.

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

Pass is forcing here ?
If yes I pass encouraging P to bid (and showing shortness). If not I also pass. I don't think my hand is that much better than normal t/o double partner expects (he can count his ♥ too probably expecting stiff) and he could be stretching already hoping they will go higher.

Partner's jump is preemptive/offensive, we're r/w and have only 3-card support, and it's not even matchpoints. I would just pass and I don't think it's forcing.

edit: after some thought I don't like this answer any more. I think double is right. I have 2 quick tricks and some quacks on the side and partner probably has some values for the r/w 4♠. If he has the right hand we might get this 2 or even 3. We might get the SA, two clubs, a club ruff, and a diamond for example.

I think that 5S is clear given our four card support and heart void.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

ROFL.

Hanped.

No way in the world is pass forcing here. I thought this was a question of whether to pass or to double, I'd light em up since I have so much defense in the minors and shortish spades and they are likely to just be saving at this vul, and someone has to double them.

Pard doubled this. I pulled with AKxxxxx Jxx x xx. KC off and they found the shift at T2.

Same auction same result at other table.

I'd pass, which is obviously NOT forcing. Dbl is a close second, but I don't like my hand that much.

Dbl and lead the heart. 5♠ seems a long way off, so I'll just take the money. Where are their tricks?
