Scoring: MP

I did choose 2C as the opener, but as the correct choice seems to be 1H I'll give you the bidding starting with 1H. Opps silent:
1♥-1♠
3♦-3♠
You play wjs, partner's 3♠ shows 6 card and 9+ (with 6 card ♠ and 4-8 pts your partner would have bid 2♠ initially).
You play a jump to the 5-level as voidwoid, but not sure if 5♠ would still be interpreted like that and it would also force you to the 6-level.
What is your choice now?

I choose 5♥ next, I think that this gives all the right signals. It shows a very strong hand with long hearts and secondary diamonds, and it denies interest in spades.

I think that 5H should "set trump" and I will interpret partner's 5S as a cuebid (and in this case specifically showing the ace). I will sign of in 6H over 5S, showing that I'm not excited about this ace. However, if partner cuebids 6C then I'm really excited, and I will bid 6D hoping that partner jumps to 7H with the rounded aces.


BTW, playing 5S as voidwood in an auction like this is asking for trouble. This comes from a voidwood fan.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

I am not sure I agree with this inference. Why can't 3♠ be a 5-card suit?

Your partner will almost never rebid S with a 5-card. It's not impossible if he would not have any other good bid. Something like
AKxxx=x=xxx=xxxx

Is this a joke or do you really play 5H as voidwood for S here, asking to bid 6 with CA or HA?
Will your partner pass with AKxxxx=xx=xx=xxx?

hehe, it was a joke. I do not think partner will always make the right decision (mainly because he doesn't know that the SA is good and the CA is bad, or that a single ace is enough to bid a slam). It just seems like this is the best I can do without driving it to slam myself which I'm just not willing to do.

5H. Natural and Invitational to slam. Honestly this sequence probably will not help partner (but nothing else does either), but we should get raised if partner happens to hold 2 aces....

Here are both hands. I wondered if there was a good way to ask for H and C ace. Probably 5H is the best bid. Partner will bid 6 with ♥A, will he?
