I would bid 4♠. If I doubled, I would then sit for 5♣.

Need not much for 4S to make and various non-heart values will all be fine. 4S instead of Dbl.

PS. Didn't look, just noticed it has all been said already...

4S. A fight for love and glory. I am not running if they double me.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

4♠ was not a success because partner turned up with ♠Ax ♥xx ♦KTxxx ♣Qxxx. RHO had Q98xx of spades and doubled. Down 1 losing 2 spades and 2 clubs.

Other table were in 5♦ making.

Obviously now I've seen what happens I'm a results merchant, but I think 4S is less obvious than some people claim. I've got a load of defence, if partner wants to pass the double that's probably all right with me.

Sigh, I hate that they double the only thing they can beat and get away with it!

I'm with the 1 in the glue crowd but would have redoubled to test their nerves if I knew their doubles could be so bad beforehand.

Yes, you are right. Other table had an uncontested auction to 5♦.

Dealer had x T9xxxx xx AKxx and did not open 2H.

I don't agree with Frances, even though I would be delighted if I doubled and partner passed. But I think it is more likely, much more likely, that partner bids 5C and we miss 4S.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.
