Scoring: MP

(1♠) - P - (P) - 2♠;

Edit: Per Fluffy's remark, 2♠ = 5♥ + 5m

What's your choice?

If 2♠ is michaels I am taking my money in 5m, so 4NT to put RHO on lead.

I would not drive to slam here, but yeah I woulda bid immediately.

I assume by the money you mean 5m and not passing, which could easily lead to a double game swing.

Well defending works out decently enough:

♥ lead to the A.
♣ return to the Q.
♣A cashed.
♣ ruff.
♥ ruff.
♣ ruffed with the A. East can pitch one heart, but west has to follow.
♥ ruff.

It's 800 which at least beats game.
