Scoring: IMP

You open 1D, partner bids 1NT and RHO jumps to 4H. What's you call? What distributions would 4NT and 5C show?

Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

5♣ would show at least 5-5. 4NT should show 6-4, so with this hand pass is the answer.

4NT, when there is double fit is normally right to reach the 5 level.

Partner's hand was xxx Ax x 1098xxxx, but RHO had a stiff diamond so 4H was cold. 5C happens to be an excellent sacrifice.

Why do I have to guess to bid a 3-card suit when partner can bid 7-card suit? How can partner pass 4H with a 7-card club suit?

I would NEVER apologize. This is partner's fault.

No, I would say this was no-one's fault. Why should partner introduce a rattyclub suit without any of the top 4 honours, with no guarantee of support, over a pre-empt which has no guarantee of making

This is imps. Worrying about a sacrifice that might be the difference between -620 and -500/300 is not high on my list of priorities - at imps, phantom saves are a killer.
