5C as 'stuff' on the way to 5H.
May help partner decide what over 5S/6S.

I am pretty allergic to unfavorable saves so I am inclined to pass.

5♥ taking away their blackwood and 5♦/♥ cuebids. Now I hope they will misjudge.

Doesn't double show a hand that would have bid 4♥ if it had been legal? And isn't that what I have?
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Ah, the old stolen bid. That would be what I want it to mean on this hand, but I don't think it would be interpreted as a heart preempt. The double, if it showed a whole lot of minor suit cards (for instance), would be free from vulnerable penalties unless a minor was chosen --since they probably can't make 4H their way.

Pass for me...wrong colors for 5♥ unless I have more distribution or am more likely to be able to get some offense from my ♣

X of a splinter suggests a sacrifice? Or is that not a common treatment? X for me cause that's what I'd play.
I once yelled at my partner for discarding the 'wrong' card when he was subjected to a squeeze that I allowed by giving the wrong count with too high a card. Now he's allowed to pitch aces when the opponents have the king in the dummy. At trick 2. When he could have followed suit. And blame me.

I doubled (save-suggesting) but felt a little chicken about it.



Over the double lefty blackoowded, righty didn't show the void and they played 5, making 6 on two hooks. I'm not sure what will happen over 5h, but if they double it, it'll be pretty bloody.

Double really sucks, the great thing about 4H is they have no last train or anything so they have to guess right then. It is also very likely RHO is void in hearts, and LHO doesn't know about that yet. If it goes pass pass XX or pass pass keycard on a hand that was passing 4S, I think that would be a disaster. Just pass imo.
