Scoring: MP


(1♦) X (2♦) 4♠
(5♦) X (P)   5♠-50

IMO, with seven card trump support, you should try 5♠ losing as the cards lie and and paying off to result merchants. Next time...

• Partner will not have a trump trick or
  
• Opponents' ♠ will split 2-0 or
  
• RHO will turn up with a high ♣ instead of a high ♥ or
  
• On a slightly different layout, the field will play in 4♠ making. Your 5-level MP decision will be a choice between 5♦X-3 and 5♠=.
