This being MPs, I'll go with the X. At teams it's harder, I don't want to miss the game as it looks like we'll pick up only 300, but if partner's bust then 5D is too high.

partner is xx QJxx Txx J987 and sat. They have 10 trumps, a stiff in each red suit, and of course the CT is well placed, so both games make

I was beginning to doubt double but I came to the conclusion that partner should often pull. I thought maybe I was resulting but I'm glad PhilKing posted the same thing.

I wouldn't dream of pulling the X with that. Will be interested to hear whether the stronger players disagree.

If partner is supposed to pull with that, I'm not sure what our X is supposed to be for. Even if he knew we were exactly 1444, he'd probably still pass the X, but we have 4N for a two-suiter, so what's left? 0454 exactly? ♥s and ♦s specifically? If the latter, what would opener's 4N followed by a pull to 5♦ of 5♣ be?

4n followed by 5d shows this hand also, the question is just if we want to keep the door open for defending. I think p should pull to 4n intending to correct 5c to 5d.

In my world, partner pulls even with balanced junk like that. Obviously passing could be right, but partner may actually have a takeout double.

This hand is too strong for a 1♦ opening.
In the given situation I would double and bid 5♦ over 5♣.
