Your bid. Partner is competent. Opponents of unknown quality. IMP pairs.

Nice problem - I'm really not sure what my best bid is - I'm tempted by both dbl and 4♠. But I can easily imagine pass being right too.

Its Pass or 4♠ for me. Double doesn't seem very likely to win.

Unless my RHO is prone to make heavy preempts in 3rd seat, I'll try 4♠.

Partner should be shortish in ♥ so likely to hold some spades so put me down for a 4s call as well. I'd love to double, if he passes or bids ♦ or ♠ or 4nt (pick a minor) great but over 5♣ I'm in trouble and that rates a fair chance to be his bid.

This assumes a normalish biddinng system, if we open light frequently (or play a 10-12nt) I'll pass.

4S for me with pass a second choice. Double is not an option.

Pass or 4S, I chose pass. Partner holds a bunch of clubs and either he or LHO have short heart. 4♥ might be not that weak.
I think I would bid 4S in different vulnerability, but as is opposite passed partner with AJTxx, I am chicken.

"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

Because of the VUL, I think I'd pass.
Too bad, though, because you have good play in 4♠ if partner has as little as ♠K-4th, and cold if he has an Ace as well.

EDIT: Heck, with the latter ( ♠K-4th and an Ace ), you are in the slam zone .

That's one thing for bidding 4♠, I don't believe you will miss the slam if it's there.
bridge is never always a game of exact, for those times it's all about percentages, partner and the opponents.

If pard were not a passed hand, I'd try 4S. As it is, I'd pass. Unless my passed pard pard can come up with a balancing double of 4H, I don't see our side being able to make game here.
