Is there any sensible alternative to 4spade? Almost certainly not, as you would not want to risk playing at the five level unnecessarily. It's best to accept that West's pre-empt has done its work and that you might miss a slam - even a grand.

On the other hand if partner has a bag of nuts like North's collection here then you will be well pleased with your conservative decision.

How do play when West plays heartAKQ and East shows out on the second round?
