I've generally found forcing pass logic difficult to understand, so maybe I shouldn't weigh in.

But as I understand it, a forcing pass is established when your side voluntarily bids game on power, expecting to make it. This isn't always the case after preempts. In this auction, do NS know whether they're bidding to make or sacrifice?

I should take it for granted here that the 3♣ opening and the 4♣ "support" was for sacrifice.

And one of my fundamental principles is to never sacrifice against a sacrifice.

Sorry, should have returned to this sooner. it was a UI situation, I was in the hotseat and doubled after a tank from partner with the world's most obvious double (agreed by opp - who rightfully called director) but I was just interested in theory. Thanks all
