you play invitational jump shifts so bidding 1h then 2h is less than 9.

1 spade was non-forcing

Pard knows what I have, and stills sniffs at slam. And even though my shortness is in partner's suit, I'll move.

It sounds like some sort of 4=3=0=6 or 4=3=1=5 with 16-17. I assume we'll get a trump lead.

But what the heck, 6.

5. This should communicate a good hand in context, lack of spade control, and also pinpoint the possible wastage for partner's consideration, allowing him to place the contract.

You've asked for preference in the black suits and yet partner has repeated his
own suit i.e.sign off so what's with the jump to 4??? Holding the
North cards I would just bid 5 as the best fit suit and leave the rest
to partner. I'm visualising the South hand as something like this:-

Really?? Opening post described 4D as a splinter, in case it wasn't obvious.

So you're visualizing a NON-FORCING 1 rebid with 22 HCP? How strong do you suggest before you make a forcing bid?

would seem to be a gross misdescription of the "visualized" hand you provide.

And the meaning of the 4 bid (Splinter), as Tramticket explains, is obvious. However, if you are unsure of a bids meaning, you can click on the highlighted yellow over the bid. A concise explanation will be provided to you.

Finally, if you require a definition of "Splinter bid," I'm sure others will be happy to provide one for you. But since you are "too long in the tooth" to be "educated," that may be a waste of time.

Since I usually have but don't promise 6 hearts (KQJTx and out) I think partner has at least A plus some combination of A, A, K in the blacks with a little something else or I win the post mortem.

Might need a spade hook/split, ruff out a club with them 4-4 in the opps hands but the 4 bid is so huge it can have another key card, a 6th club and or a diamond void so I'm into 6.
