Scoring: IMP

2♠ - 3♣ - 3♥ - 4♦
4♥ - x - ?

2♠ = 8-10, (5)6+♠

I know we have ten spades so I tested the second fit, so I know whether we should bid on 5th level. Does this make sence? What would you bid?

Hi,

4S, that's what you intended to bid.

A direct 4S would have made it a bit
harder for them, but you found the dbl.
fit, now it is time to tell partner about it.

Bidding 4S direct or delayed is a tactical
question, both approaches can work out
perfect or leave you guessing in the end.

With kind regards

Not sure that is right, but I would bid 5♥.

A 4 ♠ now looks like a Transfer to 5 of a minor from an opponent.
Do I wish to play that?
When I declined to bid 4/5 Spade direct ( I had not), I think that not showing the double fit to the opps is making it more difficult for opps to react. I doubt, that this information is of any use to partner.
Kind Regards

4H has just been hit by my RHO? In which case I pass and hope for +590

4H doubled? I'm passing too - running to spades might indicate a void somewhere.

Sometimes we get to play 4♥ x'd :wub:

4♠ tips the opps off about the double fit (which they should realize anyway, but you never know).

I Pass. Maybe everyone will. If not I bid 5♠. Redouble is just a transfer to 5m.
BTW I expect this to be +690 not +590, but who knows bad breaks and all might kill the overtrick (maybe just the 2nd one though).
