So after a few more boards the next misadventure showed up.

2nd seat favorable you pick up:

AKQJ9 / 763 / Q76 / 52

I opened the obvious 1 Spade, lefty bid 2 Spades (Michaels) and Jeff bid 4 Diamonds.

Jeff loves fit bids.  I don't care for them (they never come up and create confusion on hands like this.)  His 4 Diamonds is either fit showing or a splinter.  I get to guess which.  Lovely.

Righty passed and I decided that however he intends it, my hand isn't worth more than 4 Spades.

Now Lefty bids 5 Diamonds.  Passed around to me.

How many tricks do I have on defense?  Probably 1 Spade is my guess.  Is this auction forcing?  Jeff's ensured that they're going to get diamonds right whether or not I double.  Sigh.  I passed.  Jeff led a big club.

Dummy tracked:

T653 / Q8 / J95 / T764

Not much of a dummy, but just enough for declarer, who held:

- / AKT54 / AK8432 / J9

I had to bid 5 over 5 as a sacrifice with a 5-3-3-2 hand after I'd opened with a full opener and partner had splintered.  Wonderful.
