(3C)-P-(5C)-5D
(P)-P-(X)-P
(P)-???

I can't remember the spots but it was a real hand (hand-dealt) from about a year ago. Anyway, your call?

Trumps. P is under pressure and may only have 6 diamonds. EVen if he has 7, spades could easily be better I think. Or 5♠ might not get doubled.

I'll take my chances in 5♠ as my hand looks useless to PD if a trump is played to kill any chance of a ruff. As a general rule, I don't like to save PD at this level, but I do have NINE ♠.

Trumps please.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

5♠. Never put an eight card suit down in dummy. Oh, wait...

Of course 5♠, lol? Partner was under pressure, it's not like he jumped 17 levels into diamonds or rebid them multiple times.

When this came up, I also chose the "obvious" 5♠, the result though was a little sick.
Scoring: IMP


Spades broke 3-1 (gl avoiding double here, 5♣ bidder sitting with AKQ of trumps lol) I had to try and explain to partner and teammates how I turned -500 into -1400. 6♣ is only down with a ruff at trick 1. Partner did say he considered rescuing me into 6♦ but passed on the basis his hand is worth more in ♠ than mine is in ♦.

Partner had 0 tricks for spades, 0 spades, and they didn't break. I will consider myself unlucky and stick with playing in my 9 card suits.
