Sure feels like 'walking the dog'.
I have nothing extra.
Partner knows where we are.
Pass.

I'd hit it. Partner doesn't know we have a trump trick, a diamond void, and a side-suit ace.

How competent is my RHO? I'm inclined to rip them but if RHO is not retarded I'd probably just pass, he knows he is asking for it and should have a really good hand. If RHO is your standard opp then he probably just has 7 spades and felt the need to bid again.

It was a speedball. I have some sense of my better opponents but this guy was unknown. RHO held AJTxxxx x Axxx x and caught a monumental Q Axxx KTxxx xxx so we were -930. I can underlead the club to stop the overtrick but with the surprise double fit you are 420 in 4♥. -140 would have been a 26% board.

How come is everybody thinking of hiting this? I thought 4♥ stood a mile. I mean.. I have a void, pard is a candidate to have short spades...
