After 2♥-pass-4♥, I doubled, then converted 4♠ to 5♦. That's nearly always the same as overcalling 5♦, but with a slight chance that partner will pass the double or bid 5♣.

Nobody bid anything over that, and I got a good dummy but went down:

My action worked out badly in one way: if I'd passed, partner would have bid 4♠ all by himself, and I'd have been happy to leave him in it.

On the other hand, suppose South had competed to 5♥ (which I think he should do). In my auction, partner would have bid 5♠, obviously. In the auction where I pass:
2♥ pass 4♥ pass
pass 4♠ pass pass
5♥ pass pass
it's rather harder to bid 5♠.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Were the opponents playing strong twos or something ? :)
