At r/w in 1st seat, you hold

Scoring: IMP


You open 1♦ and LHO preempts 4♣. This is passed back to you.
Any plans?

I will venture a 4♦ bid.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Pass it out. If partner had really short clubs and some values he might have acted, and if he doesn't, we certainly want to defend.

Our neg double level (not everyone's) has been surpassed, but I still stay fixed.

Pass.

Double and remove 4♥ to 4♠ is a possible second choice but not particularly close. Partner could have hands where we make 4♠ but I think bidding will lead to too many 4 or 6 imp (or bigger) losses when nothing makes. Would not bid 4♦ as eleven tricks are unlikely and partner will often raise when we make ten.

Partner had a routine pass. The fact that when partner has his best hand and you have your best hand 2 passes don't work together doesn't mean either pass is a bad decision.

The two passes didn't work that badly: we gained 2 IMPS against par, and if either of us had bid we'd have gone minus on a board where we're supposed to go plus.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Did we? I think 3NT our way is unbeatable.
