I agree with not bidding 6D, so I would suffer the same fate.

The problem is the north hand is not limited all that well. North is quite minimum for a 3H overcall, and bidding 6D will propel you into too many bad grands.

me, 2.

Without EW bidding, if I'm not going to get to this grand then I'd like to change my system.

Oh yeah? Show me how you bid it after pard opens 4♥.

Had you passed initially and the auction went 2S-p-3S-dbl-p-??? how would you get to the grand?

I agree with many of the comments already made:

1) North's hand is no longer minimal. We are talking about 7-5 shape here!

2) I would not cue 6D, I don't think that it will help partner.

3) I don't think that 6D denies the club king.

4) This hand is very tough with opposition bidding, you shouldn't get to 7H after 5S. If 4NT is keycards than that would be better. It would show the minors for me .

5) I expect to get to 7H in an unopposed auction.

It's nice to claim to be able to bid every making contract, but I know that none of my partnerships have ever been able to do so.

I think it is very, very dangerous to cue a void as your first cue. Imagine South looking at Ax Kxxx KQJx AKx

totally agree.
