I think I can make 1♠, possibly overtricks. Pass for me.

It would be rare for partner to have 3 hearts, but partner can use their judgment, too, to describe a 0-3-5-5 hand or something like that.

IMO _P = 10, 2♥ = 5, 3♥ = 4, 2♠= 3, 3N = 1.
You should defeat 1♠ provided partner has a ♠ and leads it :( If LHO has conned you out of a slam, too bad :lol:

I'm not as enthusiastic about defending 1♠x as the other posters, but I am even less enthusiastic about declaring or putting my hand down as dummy.

I just can't bring myself to pass this, not with a sixth heart.

Oh well.

Pass. Rare time that I convert a 1 level takeout double, but this is the hand for it.

This is probably a misfit, but even if pard has 2 hearts, where are we going to stash these spades?
