I like X, if partner doesn't pull he will usually be right.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

When partner bids over 3♠ he expects something from me. I believe I don't have much more than the minimum he expects so I pass.

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

Double. I think I have to go for the vul penalty with my defensive values.

5H, should be a good save.

On a good day we'll wrap it up

Wasn't it PClayton that said, trust your vulnerable opponents? This time I'll go with Phil.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

At these colours 3s often get raise to 4, so partner 4H is often an invite to sac. So clear 5H no ?
From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

Dealer: West
Vul: Eeast-West
Scoring: IMP
♠ K
♥ 8xx
♦ QJxxx
♣ KJ8x
[3♠]-4♥-[4♠]-???

i am curious how many would x if they held

X
8xx
QJxxx
KJ8x

the reason i ask if that this is essentially what you have. 5h is an insurance bid
at imps---while it is true that 4s may be going down it wont often go down more than 1 (vul opps see the vulnerability too) so the X is not worth while and could
easily backfire since p range for 4h is HUGE. If you do not wish to bid 5h at least pass since x seems to serve little purpose here.
