4 N. two places to play. Passing 5C, correcting 5D to 5H.
can’t sell to 4S….they could be robbing us blind. Partner should know that we bid under pressure so won’t put us in slam without a huge hand.

4NT to pick the rich strain. Partner does not always have 4 H and playing in 54 could be safer than 44.
Ideally I would like a bit more to undertake a 11-trick contract but they put me to the guess taking advantage of the vulnerability. So I can stretch.
Maybe am I turning +100 into -100 but maybe +600/650. At IMPe you gain more than you lose.

Thanks for the thoughtful comments, appreciated.
I thought of 4 options
X
4NT
5H
5C
Unfortunately Picked the one losing option. Double
4S was cold.
Other table found the good sacrifice after a slower auction.
Fortunately we still won this first match
Again ty for your comments
