Maybe I'm being persuaded to bid 5d confidently because I don't see 4S going off so it can't be too far wrong.

I bid an insta 5D hoping to get a 5S bid out of them, but I really regretted it later and wish I would have thought for a while and passed.

OK, so what happened? Who had what? Spill it!

Partner bid 4D on xxx xxx xxxx xxx so the results aren't really relevant :P In retrospect I like a pass though, I didn't think it through enough because I felt like I needed to bid 5D very confidently.

So, the question has become "what do you bid with a partner who is a lunatic?"

Similar to the other post?
"Gibberish in, gibberish out. A trial judge, three sets of lawyers, and now three appellate judges cannot agree on what this law means. And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

As Ken pointed out, 4 Diamond was indeed a Transfer to their game.
Pd was more afraid that they may have slam then he was about defending their game. He does not know much about your defence, but he can count his defensive tricks quite quick, so slam in their hand was really possible.

Actually, that is Stealers Wheel. Not Steely Dan....
Is the word "pass" not in your vocabulary?
So many experts, not enough X cards.

white/red
♠ Q x ♥ K x x ♦ A K J T x x ♣  x x

1S on your right, you bid 2D, LHO bids 3D(limit raise 3+ trumps), partner bids 4D, RHO bids 4S. Do you or don't you?

Partner bid 4D on
♠ x x x ♥ x x x ♦ x x x x ♣ x x x

so the results aren't really relevant :( In retrospect I like a pass though, I didn't think it through enough because I felt like I needed to bid 5D very confidently.


You might not find the pass at the table but the arguments here show it to be the logical choice .
