Double.
I don't play that 4♦ is forcing over 4♣, and I would not think thats a standard interpretation. I plan on 5♦ over 4♣.
Anything can be happening here, but I choose to trust both by vul opponents and my NV pard who likes to make lite shapely TOx's at these colors, so I'm not looking to hard at slam and I also think 3N is a big longshot. .

To the doublers: do you think there's any chance of partner passing with a singleton spade?
How often partner will leave it in with a...
Void = impossible
Singleton = fairly unlikely, but will happen sometimes
Doubleton = quite likely
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

What kind of hand would pard have to have to leave it in with a singleton spade?

At favorable vul partner will pass with a lot of quick tricks all day. 500 is very likely and if you cant get 500 then 200 may be your best score. In my opinion the appeal of double is that partner may just pass it.

What worries me is the fact opps bid 3S red vs W at macthpoint with probably a low HCP hand.So im expecting a 5-5 or a void for RHO. Ill just bid 4S to put emphasis on slam. If partner bid 5C or 5D ill pass if he bid 4Nt ill bid 5NT (P-A-S)
3Nt is a close 2nd.
I also agree with Jlall that its possible to pass a 3level responsive X with a Stiff. The way i see it is that the initial TO X tend to show 0,1,2 spades. So passing with 2 pulling with 0 is close to automatic. With 1 pass or pull depend on the shape of the hand

From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

I like 3NT. It looks ugly but seems to work more often than you expect at the table.

So if partner has a 1444 minimum he will pull?
