I would pass, but this is not clear (maybe I will bid 5D on some days).
I think that I'm too balanced for 5D.

pass

Life is tough and sometimes this will not work (spade ace with lho) but
I only have the dia K to contribute to a 5 level contract and I might
easily score 2 spade tricks after my club lead plus whatever p can contribute.
For our side to have any chance at 5 level p will surely be able to take 3
defensive tricks so even if we miss game we might come out ahead 500 to 400.

If the opps make maybe p will realize they need more to x next time:)))) since you
are likely to leave it there.

Pass. Hate going to the 5 level with hands with no singletons.

Thx all. Here are the hands:


Having seen my "customers" performing in the previous hands, I decided a void across was not a given, so I passed.

By the second time in the session, I felt sick after seeing the dummy, and even more after realizing I gave away the club jack. But then declarer fell from grace trying to drop the (would-be) singleton ♠K offside... Posted Image

I told pard a 4NT two-suited overcall might have been better. Would you have done it?

IMO
  • South, over RHO's 4♠: Double = 10, 4N = 8.
  • North, after the partner doubles 4♠: Pass = 10, 5♦ = 8, 4N = 5.

Nuno, I have been following your team trial topics, hands, opponents, partners, auctions, defenses and plays..... is crack cocaine legal in your country? Posted Image

This session's opponents were not particularly strong.

Here we prefer wine and beer and yes, those are legal, up to 0.5 g/L when driving :)
