In spite of unfavorable and inspite of 4♠ being rather easy to whack, mark me down for a 4♠ bid here with this weakish freak.

For all we know, we may be off a couple in 4♠x when the opps are close to cold for a grand in a round suit. On a good day, we make it doubled as PD may fit us a bit.

4♠ may also result in the opps making the wrong decision between the 5 and 6 levels, since they have so little room.

I can't imagine bidding less than 4♠ with this hand.
At this vulnerability I can't imagine bidding more than 4♠ either. B)
Kind regards,

I have never understood the urge to ever bid 5♠ on auctions where the opps have yet to establish a fit or a game-force. For all we know, partner is sitting across the table with a good but unbiddable hand, loaded with defence.

I don't even understand the urge to bid 4♠. I can always bid it later.

I am not eager to go for 500 when I'm not even certain they were getting 420.

4S

The alternative being 3S, given the vulnerability,
but only if you intend to pass any bid, which comes
back to you.
