1st ever game with what you presumed was a good partner. Opps are lousy club players.

You open 1H, LHO overcalls 2C, pd bids 4C splinter and now RHO bids 4S without much thought.

OK, so you have an easy pass here, forcing, and LHO fidgets forever, then passes and partner doubles. RHO mumbles something about having bid when she didnt double etc etc and then pulls to 5C.

Ignoring all the coffee housing from people who know no better (it's a meaningless club game), what's your call?

IMO
  • Over RHO's 4♠: 5♥ = 10, _P = 6.
  • Now over 5♣: _P = 10, 5♥ = 6, _X = 5
Parther's advertised good ♠ improve defensive prospects but may not help much in 5♥ :)
Luckily _P is still forcing, so, with any luck, we can blame partner :)

I'll pass, but bidding 5H is tempting. The diamonds look a bit of a worry, so I guess I'll get a 2nd opinion from partner again lol as I'm still kinda interested in competing.
