I guess there were two actions on this board that might be deemed non-standard. The first was the shape for the double. I risked a double because at Instant IMP, the South hand is the highest in HCP. Next, over LHO's raise to Two Spades, Partner jump bid FOUR CLUBS. What should I do now? I reasoned that my xxxx of spades must face a void or a singleton, and my hand was rich in controls for a club contract. I shot out FIVE CLUBS. I saw that the contract depended on a Heart finesse, which the kind opponents took for me. Or else I would have done so myself, making the contract on any lead.
