What else but Pass you might say. Too right! Although we know partner has very few clubs, there is no guarantee of even a partial heart fit, partner's values are likely to be in the wrong place for offence, and partner's double is a warning.

I thought you'd like an obvious one for a change. You (alias Omar, for there is no difference in standard between you, is there?) lead heartK. Partner's signals are distributional, and he follows with the heart5. What next?
