Wide ranging. Up from 7 losers (Kxxxx x KJTxx xx) to a near-slam.

Not very enlightening, I know.. but that's life :)

4♠ rates to be a better contract than the better minor at the 5 level. Even if we play the Lawrence treatment that 4 ♠ is not uncommon, and partner does have 4♠, 4♠ still might be the better contract.

Pard had

♠ J86543
♥ A
♦ AJ1086
♣ 3

5♠/♦ happens to make. 5♥ goes two down, but high chance of only 1 down.
