No, partner will find a bid on most hands which are good enough to make 5♥ opposite, I think.

No, I believe my Master said "no pre-empt over a pre-prempt".
Will try to find that back in the litterature. Or has anybody something on that ?

I'm thinking no, but had one of my most spectacular ever successes by bidding 5♥ over 4♠ with void, AQJxxxxx, 10x, xxx so I don't think it's a million miles away.

No. Not because it won't be a good score but because pard will go berzerk with some cards.

Hi,
The answer is certainly No, ... but I do have a 8 card suit.
The 5H bid may be faster on the table than "PASS".
With kind regards
Marlowe

We are red/white with 6 losers. To hope that partner has 3 covers, and a hand that can't set 4S, and a hand that won't bid 6H, and a hand that won't reopen over 4S is really asking a lot.

I was recently dealt
- xx xx KJTxxxxxx
at unfavorable 3rd seat over a 4♠ opening. Compared to that, this has the threat of partner raising to 6 when he shouldn't, plus the chance that he'll reopen, so this is an obvious pass for me considering that I passed with a 9-card suit and a void too.

I'd pass this hand for sure, 5H is way too risky!!

No, note that after a X you have the 4Nt-5m-5H way and direct 5H. The direct 5H should show that 6 is still in the picture and the delayed is weaker.

Oh Dear
I confess I would bid 5♥ but having read the other replies, I concede that overcalling is foolhardty.
