In theory you must guard against a disastrous -650.
In practice ?

At matchpoints this is close, it seems to me. But the Imp odds just have to be with 5S, I think. You have reasonable defensive prospects : win SA, put diamond through. But 5S looks pretty cheap, and there's lots of ways for 5H to be cold. bb | |||||

Points are about half and half. So in this case I'll buy the freak and bid 5S. We might set 5H, but then again, 5S might even make. It's way too close to call. -Dave | |||||

One seldom gets these right. Yea, I went 5S against my better judgement
and got a minus score, 5H going down too (who could imagine they
would follow S twice and not ruff C):
