LHO deals all white IMP and it goes

1♦-1♥-4♠-?

pd is a Crazy Junior, his overcall might be frisky, but quite usually a 5 card suit.

If you pass, what would the nearest hand be (with identical hearts) with which you'd bid 5♥?

If you bid 5♥, what would the nearest hand be (with identical hearts) with which you'd pass?

I'd not be bidding with such a balanced hand. If they make 4♠ (they most probably do) we rate to go down too many. And if they don't make 4♠ we're still not making 5♥.
Kind regards,
Harald

Too many losers here for me to bid 5♥. I pass and hope 4♠ goes -1 although I expect it to make.

I was more interested in the 2nd part, what would be the nearest hand for you with which you'd bid 5h, assuming AJTxx of hearts exactly.

Hi,

Pass, I would need more shape.

The shape ignored, it would be better
to have xx in diamonds than QJ.

And what does frisky mean, e.g. regarding
suit quality, it is great that it is usually a
5 card suit, but would 9xxxx do?

With kind regards
Marlowe
