Another team trials bidding problem -- result

This is mostly a week of sharing results on recently posted problems. This hand is from last Monday:

I held this hand in a knockout match (spots approximate):

♠	Q 5 4 3
♥	K
♦	A K Q 10 7 5 2
♣	A

West	North	East	South
	1♣	Pass	1♦
Pass	1♥	Pass	1♠
Pass	2♠	Pass	?

What is your plan? Imagine that partner makes a weak spade bid over your next call.

Also, we often bypass to rebid 1NT.



At the table, I bid 4♦, then blackwood over the expected 4♠. Partner showed 2 without and I offered 6♦. He held 4=4=1=4 with no ♠J, so we were able to stop in 6♦ rather than the inferior 6♠.
