Lightner Double will probably hold them to six.

Where is the other trick?
Should either have open 5C or come in with 4D?
Then it should be dead easy for partner to pick whether to double or sacrifice.

Double. Expect to take a ruff and an eventual other trick.

agree with Ron, LHO probably has 2 minor cards and that's enough.

Their auction is not scientific and I like my chances to go plus with a double. But there is a problem. They seem to have a fit in both majors and we might chase smart opponents into spades. So this really depends on who your opponents are.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

then we probably have to bid 7♣ next, what is the alternative if opps are smart enough? bid 7♣ now to avoid killing partner's ♠Q?, its dead already

I remember a hand from Las Vegas a few years back where we made a Lightner x and soon were writing -1210 on our cards.

Its very important to make this call even if you are unsure where the next trick is coming from.
