11 tricks in 5S now seems a low percentage. Partner needed to bid 5S, not me. I have an Ace so I double.

What do we give partner?
Akxx,x,xx,AKQxxx? Can he hold much less? And 6 Spade is on a 2-1 break.
Make it Kxxx, x,xxx,AQjxx and 11 tricks still can be made and this is surely no double of 4 Heart.
I see a big fit with them and a big double fit for us. There is no way I would pass or double.
I think I settle just for 5 Spade.

Wouldn't partner Dbl 5♥ with such a hand?

So AKx KTx x KQJ876 or similar is a clear pass of 4H?
(QTxxxx x xxxx xx would make a 4s call pretty nice, if a X was the choice.)

I have no idea- but he needs less for 5 Spade.

5♠ seems easy. The contract is even rightsided.

We should always assume 2/1 unless otherwise stated, because:
- If the original poster didn't bother to state his system, that means that he thinks it's obvious what he's playing. The only people who think this are 2/1 players.

More afraid to miss 6 than 5S go down.
From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

It's obvious right either to bid or to double; I don't believe 5H both makes and we go for more than 500. I only pass if this is a qualification for something and an average-ish board will do for us.
I bid 5S. But I may be influenced by too much play at aggregate where it's obviously right to bid.

I think partner would double 5♥ if he had a highly defensive hand (for example having 2 spades), the honnor allocation is bad, but the only excuse for 5 over 5 is double fit, and here we have 2* 9+ card fits!, so I'd go for 5♠.

I don't think partner can have a doubleton spade. I thought he made a takeout double of 4H!
Did I misread the auction??

If he is strong enough to double 4H with 2236 for takeout, he is strong enough to double 5H for penalty.
