5C, meh, 4N could obv work better but I could also be 5-6 so it's tough for partner.

Dbl, I'll correct 4♠ to 5♣ or I'll be happy if partner passes.

Really? Were you always bidding 5♣ to make?

On this particular hand, bidding leads to different types of bloodbaths. Partner holds JT9xxx QJT 8xx x. The 4♥
bidder holds x AKxxxxx AQJx x.

At the other table this hand competed to 5♣, doubled by my teammates for 1400.

At my table, my partner bid 4N. RHO was nice to me and didn't double (thanks). I returned the favor and played the hand sub-optimally. 5♦ was down 1 (for them) :P.

Obviously I'm influenced by the hand, but is a pass really so terrible? Our suits suck, and we have a little defense.

You stated it was a short match. Yep, one board is a short match :rolleyes:

I will admit to a push at 1400's. Hope my teammates smile.

I saw something wrong. I tought it was pard, not me, who opened 1♣.

Since I know the solution I'm too biased to opinate again, but I agree it's a tough guess.

In that case 5C was a huge underbid imo.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

You'd also bid 5C after partner has opened 1C? Those Portugese...
