I guess you mean pass is automatic? Yes, I agree. Partner's 4S bid basically said he was not really interested in anything else.

Pass is obvious.
I have a feeling I am getting jobbed by my LHO with a weak minor 2 suiter.
Partner made a stab at 5♠, and it looks like he made the right move. He did not know about my two big cards. KQJTxxxx Qx Kxx void would certainly fit this bidding. I like my chances in 5 even though its not cold. I would not like to play 6♠ on these cards, even though it might fetch.

Haha, i swaer to god i knew you would write this, i am not kidding.
And i agree too, it must be a very interesting hand at best, and should be in interesting hands section, because what we should bid now is obvious from beginner to world class for all levels of players.

5♠ is barking mad.

4♠ doesn't look so great to me either.

Well done? On a normal diamond lead, overtaken and a club returned, 5♠ is down while 5♣ was down 2. And this defense is not really that hard to find.
As for North's action over 5♠, that is a no brainer.

5♣ is any easy 500. South gives SP for diamonds at trick 1.

I'm not sure this defense is so obvious.

NS were vul, EW weren't, but I agree competent defense gets down 3.

Late to the party, but 5♠ is incredible! And not in a good way. What offence did he have that he hadn't shown via 4♠? If his side belonged in 5♠, partner can and should bid (I don't see xxx in hearts as a strong reason to think we belong in 5♠). Indeed, since we will often hold KQJxxxxx and out, for 4♠, I'd be worried that partner wouldn't play us for the defence we have and would take a phantom: hardly a reason to go ghost hunting myself.

I wonder if a Snap Dragon DBL by South ( after 2♦ ) would have had any merit ( as long South also held 2 cards ♥ along with 5+ ♠ ) ??
The bidding would be lower and South can always bid Spades.

BTW, when I said "WDP for bidding 5♠", it wasn't intended as a compliment. Double is blindingly obvious after 4♠. He just happened to catch a nice dummy and a layout that allows him to make with good play and marginal defense.

5S is an awful bid. This hand belongs in the beginners/intermediate forum.
