Garozzo is kind of old, so his preempts must be pretty solid, right?

I suppose 6♠ is a possibility but I'm just bidding 4, in case a couple of finesses don't work...

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

I'd bid 5♠.

If you control their suit go to 6. If you don't, stay here.

It's the only way to invite slam in spades, so it's a slam try. Period.
I hope that partner will realize that I likely have spade shortness. I admit he will not work out it's a void, so maybe that argues for bidding 4♠.

Not saying you are wrong, but just for completeness, would you mind saying what you think 5♥ and 4NT...5♠ are?

6h
If p cannot figure out I want them to bid 6s that's life. Inviting slam is just
too hit and miss and it might merely take a favorable opening lead from the
heart bidder vs the possible AK holding east hand. Sometimes practical is best
and anyone playing 6h as some kind of miraculous 7 level try please inform the
rest of us what it might be.

I gave West ♥AKQ for his unfavourable preempt and decided we should be in pretty good shape with 24-26 points out of a 31 point deck. Turns out I was kinda wrong...
The other table went p-1♦-3♥-4♠-p-p-p.
