X, if not now, when?

If partner bids 5♣, then I'd probably pull to 5♦.
I once yelled at my partner for discarding the 'wrong' card when he was subjected to a squeeze that I allowed by giving the wrong count with too high a card. Now he's allowed to pitch aces when the opponents have the king in the dummy. At trick 2. When he could have followed suit. And blame me.

Partner free bids 1S and I'm fitting S:AK
and single in opponents' hearts.
I sure want to tell partner offense, so 4S.

IMO _X = 10, 4♠ = 4, _P = 2.
If 4♠ is the right contract then let partner bid it,

What is 1D (1H) 2S in your system?

With at least two of my frequent partners, the posted hand for responder is not a 1S bid.

If partner had a void in hearts or something he might pull, but again, not with anything like the posted hand.

IMO...
  • Were the outcome of judgement decisions less chancy, then Bridge would be a more boring game.
  • If you defeat all the contracts that you double, then you're not doubling nearly enough.

If you double partner's hand was:

I would play the double as takeout. Opposite a takeout double it's probably never right to pass with six spades.

If you play the double as strong balanced, it's unwise to do it on a 2173 shape, even when all the honours are in the short suits.
... 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
