Yea, I try 4S.
Hope-1: after they double I know to stand or run to 5C.
Hope-2: they decided not slammy,
they won't change their mind correctly.
Hope-3: next time in this situation, with near slam spades,
partner trusts my bid and goes 6S.
Maybe I should try X.
Hope-1x: partner knows his A+A+H-trick ain't enough.

You imagine the rest. I, too love to bid,
often with light values, not this time.

Clearly you may need to borrow my tantō. BEFORE USING please request whoever will return it to insure it is properly cleaned. :)

Double could work well but a large %age of the time partner will pass and in that case we have no tricks which is obv really bad so we can't double here.

Partner has AJTxx xxx AQTx x and 4S makes. I thought it was a pass too but a very good player said he would seriously consider balancing. So, just posted.

We should always assume 2/1 unless otherwise stated, because:

- If the original poster didn't bother to state his system, that means that he thinks it's obvious what he's playing. The only people who think this are 2/1 players.
