Your at table one of a swiss tourney. Your opps are good, and RHO is a Gold Star. Your p is an unknown, but solid and conservative Japanese player.
All red, the bidding goes Pass One Club to you. You overcall 1S, LHO bids 2C, your p bids 2S and Goldstar bids 3C. What is your plan? Agree with 1S?

Hmmmmh
We'll make 4 spades maybe 5.
I have 1-3 defensive tricks. Guess partner has no defensivie trick.
How can I manage to get a X on 4♠?
Maybe a shy bid of 3 spades conceals my distributional strength best.
My bid is 3♠. Later 4 and even 5♠.
What I do if opps bid 6♣ ??? Probably X.
cheers

agree 200 % with 1S. no other possible call. I would bid 3D. If pard bids 4S ill try keycard. no special masterminding plan to get Xed in something...It looks like the opps have done all their bidding. If pard likes his diamond holding, and also has an ace 6S should be a good contract (even if pard has JTx or JTxx the finesse will very likely be on).

4♦, this should be a 5 card, and clear I want to play in ♠ and probably slam...

Guys, do you think further enemy action is likely? What is your plan if LHO bids x clubs?

against normal opps i dont see how further competition is possible. lefty bid his hand presumably with 2C, and rho presumably bid his hand with 3C. I'll compete to at least 5S unilaterally. lol

4♦, give partner some info so he can make a correct move over 5♣.

I'm gonna bid 3D here. If this pulls out a 4D bid from pard, I can trot out "old black" 
A direct 4D self-preemts us out of space for pard's diamond cue 
If opps bid 4C over 3D, we're still quite ok. If they bid 5C, the 4D bid is helpful in any case. Heck a direct 4D can even be taken as a cue rather than a real 5-card suit, so in this aspect, 3D is better.

I bid 4♦. Show partner my intention and get him to make the right decision at the 5-level.
As I'm going to be on lead against 5♣, 4♦ cannot be lead-directing so it must be a fit-showing jump.
The big questions are:
- If partner passes their 5♣ do I accept it and also pass. (probably).
- What do I lead? Underlead my top spades hoping for a diamond shift? Lead my singleton heart looking for a ruff?

4♦ was my first reaction, but I love my hand and want to see if I can coax a cue bid of the A♥. So I'll start with 3♦ and over the expected 3♠, 4♦. Over 4♠, I'll haul out key card.
