Love all at MPs. RHO opens 3♥. You bid 3♠.* LHO doubles (penalty). Back to you.

What now?

Easiest run ever (to 4D)! TY lho :)

I would have started with 4H just to get this off of my chest but glad it went this way.

This is the most obvious run in the history of running.

I have mixed feelings about the way the auction's gone, We could still be cold for 5♦ but I think it's a lot less likely pard will bid it with something like x xxx Axxxx Qxxx after the way this auction has gone. Then again maybe 4♦ is the limit of the hand...

I'd have bid 4♥ over 3♥.

Hate to be one of these posters but...
What jlall said.

That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Ok. I thought it was pretty clear too. Was a hesitation problem. The partner of the 3♠ bidder hesitated for awhile then passed. The overcaller insta 4♦'d and with the 5-6 it's understandable.

I don't care if pard tanks for 10 minutes. I'd running to 4♦.

Are you thinking of "Run to the Hills" by Iron Maiden?

Or perhaps, "Born to Run" by Springsteen?

How about "Run Rabbit, Run"?

I thought it was "Run, Forrest, run!". His daddy is named Forrest too?!

Anyway, I must have been sleeping before because I didn't bid 4♦.
