Just a standard bid

-----Another hand played by me in one of the Training matches at Turkish Youth Bridge Camp in Antalya, September 2007.

After a fast -800 board I was holding this hand at West::
♠ QJ9874---------------Vul-----:-All
♥ T9----------------------Dealer:-East
♦ KT7
♣A6
W------N------E------S

-----------------1♣----4♥

?

Now its my turn to bid. I was going to bid 4♠ in a hurry but hesitated for a while. If previous board was not -800 after my overcall I would immediately bid 4♠, but I knew that I should overcall again and after 10 sec conflict in my mind I bid 4♠. Waiting that left opponent gonna double immediately he seemed unwilling to bid and after about 1 min decided to double and All Pass. Partner has:
-
♠ K632
♥ 2
♦ Q5
♣KQT843
-----I was surprised when I see the dummy. He had so much values for a passed hand and should have opened 1♣. Anyway it was a lay down 4♠.
-----Result: 4♠ dbl=. 790.
Lets look at the 4 hands and see the real life bidding.

-----------------♠AT--------Dealer-:-E

-----What I should emphasis on this deal is about bids of West and North.
West's 4♠ overcall may be thought as an overbid or defined as a
"Lion Heart Bridge Player's Bid" but it is actually a standard bid and should be accepted by everyone.
-
-----North, instead of doubling 4♠ should bid 5♥ because he knows that they get 8 ♥ tricks and 2 aces, so 5♥ is down 1 and hard to beat 4♠ unless partner has short ♦. East's pass is "Forcing" and shows a desire to bid 5♠ but West dbl with his values.

Result: 5♥dbl -1. +200
