I pass, not very convinced, on a good day we set this one by 2 tricks, but if partner is stretching to double with his 6034 or 5044 and 13 HCP or so this contract is a favourite to make.

I've gone for 730 before, and I'm willing to risk it again.

I don't think partner is the one who stretched, unless she failed to notice the fact that my previous call was green, not red. The opponents have overstepped, and are getting slapped.

I do not expect partner to have doubled with a minimum hand type and one of the bids they should consider is I may pass this double. On a bad day they might make when declarer has shape along with a working dummy.

I passed but wasn't the least bit comfortable. The play is tricky, but I'm not sure it can be made. We ended up +200.

Partner's hand was AQxxx, void, AQxx, Qxxx. Dummy was: JTxxx, QTx, J9xx, A and is surely cracking 3♠.

yeah he will crack 3♠ but maybe we dodge to clubs then.

That's one of the main reasons to pass 3♥X, any strain could be right, even diamonds, and we won't know wich.
