It's
Spoiler
not hidden

Edit: I thought East opened 1 not south.
Probably 2 spades. Vulnerability is temping but partner can have a 9 count making us cold for a grand.

I would pass for sure, then WTF do I know?, at least I guess the spade lead for a ruff won't happen, but it is impossible to know what partner has in hearts vs diamonds.

Curiously the hand could be a 5/7 hand as partner partner might not be able to lose a quick heart trick (spade ruff) nor a late heart trick (A). All in all I bid 5 which looks like asking for good trumps. If partner happens to bid 6 over it I will bid 7.

I'm not sure what I'd bid here.. a (somewhat) unilateral 4 is probably the percentage bid. I might just do that, on grounds that "WTF do I know?" Posted Image

1. Pass
2. 6, cuebidding will not help due to the lack of space and the fact that partner will assume fit rather than fit. Hope the suits break badly so 7 doesnt make.

Two posts with different content created by one click is intriguing. I guess I could have two replies ready and click both in a brief interval, but if you're being level with us, what was the content of your intended one post ?

I guess the answer to the OP is to bid 2 and pass at the same time... :P

the 1s overcall has severely diminished my hopes for a grand on this hand
wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much risk of 7h going down on a spade lead
but I am still completely unwilling to pass and hope to somehow play 1sx.

2c appears somewhat pleasing but can create nightmares if p has clubs so
for now a

2s

bid and see what happens next.

OK after the spoiler I am still too concerned to try for 7 and the exclusion
call has only made my hand worse. I would be happy to just bid 6h over the 5c
bid (and hope p is not too unhappy with my choice to take over the bidding when
they thought they were captain) and if we make 7 anyway I will be surprised.
Trying to dream up what kind of 67 hand p would have and not open 2c:)) all of
them should have play for 6h with only a few having enough for 7.

Deep down I would not be shocked at all to find out the 1s overcall was a psyche.
