What should north bid ?

[P_Marlowe]

Hi,

even if you have messed up the auction,
your partner seems to have bid 4S, pass
the double of 5S.
Which contract on the 6 level do you want
to play?

With kind regards
Marlowe

Pass

I'm such a simple soul. I have no contribution to this auction.

[pbleighton]

I may be missing something here. You've passed thoughout, pd has doubled their 5 level contract? Doesn't this have to be penalty?

Pass, if they make it is your partner's fault. He should expect nothing from you.

same here.

This is a really strange question.

We have no fit and pard is bidding his head off. Pard wants to defend; and we are about to overrule him?

[mcphee]

Well perhaps I may not be clear about what is going on. My partner felt they should pass 3NT, then bid 4S. The opps, to your relief, will not have the pleasure of laughing at your hand as dummy and bid 5H. Now dear pard doubles, I have the word he wants to hear, PASS. Even more fun, I do not have to make the opening lead.

Partner's party-- his best guess is my best guess.

[Fluffy]

maybe I am wrong, didn't somebody bid 5♠?

I don't think that was opponent, I beleive it is partner.

I bid 6♣
