Could be fun to debate this hand if you didnt give your pd's hand imo.

I would probably end up defending doubled 7.

We miss 4 keycards: AK, K, A, with K and K not neccesary (maybe be substitued by Q or J 4th)

Partner´s opening makes him favourite to hold 2 or 3 of them, but the 4 bid has increased his chances of having more as partner will rarelly have more than 1 club honnor.

So we are big favourites to make 6 with 7 IMO more likelly than going down in 6. I´d settle for 6, if as Timo says they bid 7 will have to think about forcing pass and stuff.


Won´t dream of playing in hearts, being tapped and shut down from my 8th card suit is not on my agenda this year.
