At the table South leapt to 6heart - a perfectly acceptable solution you might say, but what would you do when West bids 6spade, Superpartner passes and East, having given the bidding box a long look, does likewise?

You'd like to sacrifice of course, but East's hesitation has shown that he'd be very likely to bid 7spade. Would your Lightner double mean that you write down plus 100? Or might it be minus 1770?
